So the downside risk.

Of not getting a college degree, not doing a startup, not really going for it, is lesser because you can have a good life.

Uh so there's not, you know and in addition, there might be a little less upside because we have a tendency to cut taxes when people get rich and America's so focused on money and the idolatry of the tech innovator.

And the downside is lower.

So it creates an environment where there's not as much risk aggressive behavior.

And also the just culturally, I don't think they've had that DNA kind of

Veren't into them.

So where are we in the US?

We believe and actively promote in winners versus losers, which means more risk to the downside and more risk, if you will, to the upside in a good way.

The question is whether it's gone too far, and the result is a series of expenses and anxiety and depression among young people.

because of a total absence of a social safety net or a reduction in it such that we can continue to fund this transfer of wealth from the young to the old, I would argue that it's gone too far.

I do believe that shelter is a basic human right.

Um for Americans or just more basically, I don't even like saying the term human right a lot, you know.

There's just aren't enough rights to go around for what's deserved or enough resources to

give every individual the human rights that we all like to think they deserve.

What I would argue is in a country like America that is registered the prosperity it has

that just too much of it has been crammed into the people who are the most fortunate and at some point just don't need any more resources and those resources would be better allocated across a middle class

that that requires constant reinvestment in terms of infrastructure, um, lack of anxiety from health care scares.

um more money they uh in terms of unemployment insurance, more investment in the young uh young that will ultimately have a positive ROI.

Sorry for the word solid here, but I think that the US having a more risk aggressive culture, believing in winners and losers, is a good thing.
