Yeah, I mean, so I do think that we have a very hyper-financialized, over-optimized economy.
So everything is very much prone to the stock market.
So there was a piece in the Financial Times a couple of years ago where the author of the piece said that we have a society that's more focused on shareholder rights rather than civil rights.
And I think that is very, yeah, it's...
I can't remember the author's name, but it was a great piece.
And I think that's kind of emblematic of the U.S.
productive enterprise is we get pretty stuck in terms of thinking beyond just what generates shareholder returns.
And I don't know.
It feels like we're able to do some stuff on the local level, but it's proven challenging.
I mean, it's more challenging than I'd want it to be.
It's a bit frustrating because I don't... It's almost like you don't know where the snake's head begins as an Ouroboros.
You don't know where the snake heads begin and where the tail is.
And you can't really figure out exactly what to do to make it more efficient.
There are so many little things that...
that are kind of just entrenched in infrastructure and in policy.
And you have a lot of candidates that come in with a political platform where they're like, I'm going to do this and I'm going to make it better.
And then you run into all this red tape, like Mamdani is in New York City with certain things, you know?
Where it's like, oh, it's not as easy as I thought to come in and make things more efficient.
And that's very frustrating.
It should be a little simpler.
