Well, the person that helped me little and mentored me. He's like, listen, man, I'm not going to, tell you how to do pitches or whatever, but I'm going to teach you how to install this. I'm going to teach you how to manage it. And that was mentoring. And that was really valuable. And I sat beside this guy made a huge difference in my career.

There is no sustainable solution to inflation if you... cap what a company can charge. Because what they'll do is they'll just stop producing. They'll manage to the margin that they'll just stop. And the reason they can stop is that they would rather contract and maintain their profitability than lose money. And then what happens is there's less products in the market. And so the prices go up.

So I think it stands to reason that the Harris campaign has access to some reasonably smart people. They also have access to really smart people like Larry Summers. And so I think if they just make a few phone calls, they'll figure out that this is a really terrible idea.

We're in the middle of the relief rally that Biden isn't in the race. I think that we had a different version of a relief rally when everybody realized that President Trump hadn't been assassinated. So... These are the pendulum swings, I think, of an electorate that still hasn't been given a clear definition of A or B.

In this case, I think what's happening is there's a lot of testing of language and ideas and concepts that both sides are doing. And I think we will not know where this election is going to go until after September the 10th and that first presidential debate, because I think that these big issues will be put to the test. The journalists asking the questions will corner both candidates.

Both of them will have points of view. And then I think they'll have to go into these five states that matter on these five issues that matter. And I do think that this will be one of those issues because this is a very aggressive proposal that has a lot of implications. And that has a lot of historical context of never having worked, literally never.

Unbelievable.

My gosh, I mean, where do I begin? Look, Boeing is these three very complicated businesses that try to live as one. So you have a commercial airline business, you have a defense business, and you have the space business. I'll be the first one to say that I think it's extremely difficult to be good at any one of those three things.

And the probability of getting all of those three things right is basically next to impossible. That's just a general comment. And I think that specialization is better. The second thing that I'll say is that I observed this company about five years ago, and I wrote about it in my annual letter. And part of the reason why I wrote about it was there was a quote.
