And then on the other hand, I think there's also a degree to which our government, our deep state across the board is shockingly less competent, less functional, And it's less capable of this. And this is where I'm not even sure whether this is an improvement. So it's sort of like maybe the 1963 U.S. where let's go with the craziest version where our deep state is capable of
