GM sales were down 22% year-over-year in China.

I think it's possible that between tariffs, consumer preferences, restrictions on foreign imports to the U.S.

market, we're evolving towards a world where GM and the other U.S.

automakers will just dominate

the U.S.

market, but have a really hard time competing basically everywhere else.

Good news there is the U.S.

market's very big, but it's not what we would have imagined just 20 years ago.

So straight up, I'm part of the problem here.

Tyler, I'm curious to hear what you have to say about me in a second, but I don't think much about it at all.

I'm not proud of it.

I should care.

I don't even honestly usually vote my shares in part because my brokerage system is so clunky and annoying and I own like 80 stocks and it just takes forever.

And yeah, those are terrible, terrible reasons.

Don't be like me.

I know I should do better.

I know governance matters.

But if I'm honest, it just does not factor at all into my investment decisions.

You know, Tyler, it's funny, I don't disagree with any of that, and yet here I am.

But yeah, definitely read the proxies, even if you don't vote.
