Yeah, I think he would appreciate it. I mean, I think Millais is much more of an Austrian-inspired thinker, but I think he definitely appreciates Friedman. And on the macro level, Friedman always understood it's really painful to treat inflation, but the more you put it off, the harder it is. So I think he would be trying to get him

as he's doing to just message that short-term pain, long-term gain. I think he'd be very supportive. I think he'd be thrilled to see also that Millais is very good at explaining these abstract ideas and putting his policies in a framework of the bigger picture. That was really meaningful to Friedman. I don't know how politically persuasive it is overall, but You know, Millais is very intense.

He doesn't have the same sort of gifts of salesmanship and setting people at ease that, say, someone like Ronald Reagan had. But it seems to be that's what his country was calling for right now.

You know, I think on the big picture, definitely. I mean, we've seen focusing too much on equality and Because equality is such an alluring word, it can lead you to downgrade all kinds of other things that are really important.

So, you know, if you're talking about freedom, if by freedom you mean not having to pay taxes if you're successful, you know, I think... That can have all kinds of knock-on effects, right?
