And we're so tribal when it comes to political affiliations that you will defend against your own self-interest because it's being presented to you as a political issue and it's not.

happens every voting season that happens.

People vote against their own interest.

It's true.

And I'm not picking just on conservatives or Republicans, like Democrats do it too.

Like it's tribal and toxic and unhealthy.

And if, oh man, if we could ever come together and break down those lines, oh my gosh, people are so ramped up right now that it would just be magnificent, the sweeping changes that would happen.

A new renaissance.

Yes.

Renaissance 2, the sequel.

2.0.

Yeah.

Here's the thing.

You know, goods have gotten cheaper, though.

If you want to look at, again, comparing in today's dollars, groceries are generally cheaper than they were in the mid-'70s because the mid-'70s, as we said, was pretty bad.

Things like...

You know, clothing and furniture, electronics, all that stuff is way cheaper than it used to be.

If you look at, you know, back when you bought a VCR when those first came out and they were like $1,000, you know,

stuff like that is all like the bottom has fallen out on those kinds of prices, but that hasn't happened in the housing market, which is a big deal for the middle class.

Like you said, in act one, that median sales price of a house.
