Well, we're in the information economy.
Now we have the internet.
Now we didn't have the internet when, when people were making stuff in factories in the sixties, this is a different world.
And that means the, you know, a happy future has to look a little bit different than maybe even we can imagine.
I heard Rich has got a very important question for you.
I'm going to, I have to plus one on that because I think, um,
It's it's such I'm going to be thinking about that response for a while.
But I because I think I love that it's not a political response in in in like what is wrong with what's happening, because.
I think we all see it.
And this is what we hear from magas.
Like, I know that we can look at the magas and be like, yeah, well, they're secretly racist or they're secretly sexist.
Those things might also be true.
And I think in a lot of cases they are.
But it's also not insane to assume that they are not lying when they look around the world or they look around the country and they say, I feel like I've been lied to.
I feel like I was told if I was Christian or
If I got married, if I worked hard, that I would have a house and a wife and kids and a middle class life.
And they understand that those that the rules that needed to be in place, especially like to our conversation earlier, you know, since the 80s, the rules that had to be in place for those things to be true, especially around union work and fair pay, have broken and they're falling apart.
And we know who broke them.
But the people in charge of the MAGA side are saying it's because of refugees and it's because of immigrants and it's because women and black people and gay people are taking, you know, from you in this zero sum game where we know that that's all bullshit.
But they have observed that the rules have been broken.
