Keeps the lights on.

Bond money.

But the U.S.

government can print its own money.

So it's not like an individual.

I might run out of kale lending money.

Like, I might not be able to pay a loan back.

But the government, like Uncle Sam, can just print money and pay it back.

This is not an easy pipeline to follow.

Although I have to say, can we just take a pause and say that you've not used any jargon.

And I...

cannot believe it.

I'm very impressed.

Keep going.

Permission to jargon.

I hear that all the time.

Right.

I mean, to put it in consumer terms, the way I always think of it is that like if you if you buy a 30 year bond, so you're lending the U.S.

government money for 30 years and you know it's going to print a bunch of money.

But if you lend it a thousand dollars for 30 years, by the time the 30 years is up, your thousand dollars buys like a cup of coffee.
