So it shows a picture of this amazing little van-sized environment that you say to yourself, oh man, I wouldn't mind taking a trip if I could just hang around in that cool little well-lit room with good windows and seats, those seats look comfortable. And then you realize they're walking around and you say to yourself, oh, Well, they're still going to have to wear seatbelts.

It's not like you're going to be walking around in your car while it's driving. So I suspect everything except having a big screen where you can all watch the same show. But by the way, none of you want to watch the same show. So unless you're in it alone, the big screen isn't going to help you a bit.

But I do think that the idea of just walking into your vehicle with a suitcase and saying, all right, vehicle, I'd like to go visit the Grand Canyon.

So when I hear jobs are good, blah, blah, blah, jobs are good, all I really hear is you're driving toward the abyss. You do not have a solution for debt. It doesn't matter how many jobs there are. They'll all be out of work soon. So, yeah, I'm not really moved by good economic news, but I suppose it's better than bad. Barely. It's barely better than bad.

So Adam Schiff decided to weigh in on this Elon Musk-Trump issue, and especially about the big, beautiful bill, the spending bill that's not a spending bill, according to Steve Miller. And Adam Schiff said on X, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Elon Musk is right. The big, beautiful bill is filled with all sorts of hidden and dangerous far-right pork. Is it?

Is the big, beautiful bill full of far-right pork? Or is it just things that the far-right likes, like protecting the border and building up the defense industry? I don't know. So he's the biggest liar in the world, so he can just put it out there and his Democrat followers will say, huh, that thing must be full of hidden and dangerous far-right pork. but we don't have any examples.

And Elon Musk saw that post from Adam Schiff and he said, he responded to it saying, hmm, a few things could convince me to reconsider my position more than Adam Schiff agreeing with me. And yeah, yeah, that was my first impression too. It's like, you don't want him on your side. So Elon unfollowed Cat Turd. Well, it's about time. I unfollowed Cat Turd a long time ago. Blocked him. All right.
