But to the extent that you want to take it seriously, it was not actually focused on the set of things we've been talking about here.

Are you investing domestically?

Are you creating the kinds of jobs that are going to allow people to support families?

It was focused on the set of –

Essentially the left of center side of this elite that is generally happy with how things are going on but wanted to impose a particular set of policy priorities around things like climate change, a certain conception of social justice.

And maybe ill-defining it.

Right.

I mean, I think that, you know, again, if you're just putting your hat on as a business leader trying to maximize profit, what you like about an emerging market typically is it's a place to generate a lot of profit.

And in the US, as you've defined it –

For the most part, those groups that have typically been excluded, places that have been left behind, those don't tend to be the places where a lot of the profit opportunity is.

Short term.

Which is what they're looking at and which connects back to another of the big problems with financialization, which is –

when you're making all of your money in financial services, to some extent in tech, in media, you can generate a lot of growth, but you are making the most profitable things, the boosting and lifting up of those narrow enclaves that are already doing best.

In my view, you aren't going to get that done by basically making a bunch of rules saying you have to go do that.

What you want to do is create these very broad rules.

Even taking a tariff as an example, you want to create a broad rule that says it's going to be cheaper to sell something that you've made in the United States than it is to sell something that you made somewhere else.
