And you're like, oh, fuck you, forget, because we come from, oh, we made money or Elon made money or fucking Larry Page made money or whatever. Those are the real rich guys, Bezos.
But the majority of the world, it's like, yeah, my parents had money a thousand years ago, so I have money today. That's so crazy. And that's how you make Joffreys. Well, that's how you make fucking Game of Thrones. Yeah. That's how you make lots of them. Yeah. You make monsters. Monsters.

Yeah, look. I've seen a lot of things happen in Canada where, to me, it's government shouldn't run things at all. Like if we can stay away from it. What does that mean?
