But there's an understanding there's a different level of risk. Whereas on commercial aviation, we have zero tolerance for risk. And actually, that's worked out pretty well. I think one thing that we always talk about the things that are going poorly, we pay attention to the bad thing before we notice the good thing.

It does feel like that a little bit recently that the planes aren't making it as much. We can get into that. But we had 15 years. With zero commercial airline fatal crashes. 15 years. Think about that. Just in the time I was secretary, we had about 4 billion people get on airplanes. Statistically, if you took your seat on an airplane and you were sitting there...

Buckle your seatbelt, eat your snack. You would be statistically more likely to randomly die of natural causes than to be involved in a fatal crash. Right. Wow. And that didn't just randomly happen. They have years of technology, regulation, policy, like a lot of things go into that. And.

That's what it looks like kind of on the other side of that process, where with commercial spaceflight, it's very new. It's understood that it's very risky. And I guess that's OK. But I don't want to lose the first thing you asked about, which is taxation, because I think, you know, a big thing.

I think most Americans, definitely my party, but I think most Americans believe that if you're making a billion dollars, good for you. But like you should at least be paying an effective tax rate that's comparable or I would argue more than like a firefighter. And that's not true right now. Because nobody really makes a billion dollars. Right, because it's all equity.
