I was just curious, because I opposed it in 22 and now.

Honestly, it's one of those things that I don't think it's the end of the world if it passes.

It's not something I'm passionate about.

I just believe in letting the markets do what they will.

And I think this sort of extends things that don't need to be extended.

But I just wanted to get your thoughts on the gas tax and how you look at that and how you feel about it, honestly.

I'm glad you said that because to me, it will only increase demand.

You need demand destruction in that market.

Like the cure for high prices is the high prices.

People buy less, that brings up the supply, it lowers the price.

In addition to that, I think it's largely psychological, and it's also meant to improve polling numbers.

One way I framed this to my followers last week was, you know, you're going to save $10 a month on gas.

If the government sent you a check once a month for $10 to help you pay for gas...

Would you be excited about that or would that actually make you angry because it's such a pittance?

And I think when you think about it in those terms, people are like, yeah, that would like I probably wouldn't even cash it.

Like, I'd probably throw it away.

I'd be so angry.

So I'm I'm with you.

I do oppose the gas tax.

I think it.
