And I think that is the antidote to the problem you described.
Oh, my God, that was strange.
When my staff were there witnessing this, no one thought that this was a moment of any kind.
Really?
No.
Like, we buried it, like, seven minutes into a 15-minute video that we thought no one was going to watch of me just sort of wandering around talking to people in an orchard.
And somehow this thing blew up, so...
It was when people came to me weeks later and said they had seen a video of me eating an apple.
I didn't even remember what they were talking about.
But it's funny how social media behaves.
One thing we're not talking about, I think, is the biggest cause of economic injustice, which is monetary inflation.
I think it has been the single biggest wealth transfer away from the working class.
And it has been a phenomenon in
all of the Western world, with the possible exception of Switzerland.
And it is, you know, we're creating cash at six times the rate that we're building homes.
And that is inflating the cost of everything.
It's taking from wage earners and savers and concentrating money in the hands of a very small group of insiders.
it is exactly why it's happening yes it's it's very simple if you want to you mentioned apples right if you're an economy with 10 apples and 10 it's a buck an apple if you double the number of dollars to 20 but you still only have 10 apples it's now it's now two dollars an apple no what i mean is is the reason it's happening is that it for the same reason you've said everything else there's a benefit to a small number of people i don't think it's a conspiracy i think that it's so if you're a politician and you want to spend money you don't have
What's the easiest way to do it?
Is it to raise everyone's taxes to go out and say, well, we're going to, you know, politician says they're going to raise the sales tax by three points or why not just print the money?
