And actually, I just want to come back to the economic thing, because you've got this situation where, again, the governor, Gavin Newsom, runs around saying, well, everything must be great because we're the fourth biggest economy in the world.
And statistically, that's true.
It's a big economy.
Fourth biggest in the world, great.
But beneath that big number, which is driven by a lot of really, especially in the Bay Area, these big tech companies that are just making huge amounts of money, but actually don't employ very many people.
At the same time, yeah, fourth biggest economy in the world, but highest unemployment in America, highest poverty rate in America.
So that is not a well-balanced, healthy economy.
And I think that's what is really, you know, coming home to roost now for them, which is that the people that they claim to speak for, you know, regular working people, particularly Latinos, especially now the majority in California, have just been completely screwed by this stuff.
And that dream of, you know, the California dream and, you know, a good job where you make enough to raise your family in a home of your own, it's all gone.
I mean, it's just, and I think people are getting sick of it and they just need a positive alternative.
That's what I'm trying to provide.
for those who are interested in how the government works here, it's a mirror of what you get at the national level.
You've got the executive branch run by the governor, and you've got the legislature, like Congress.
And the legislature is churning out all this crap.
I mean, all the time.
And they have a super majority, the Democrats.
which is a two-thirds majority, which, by the way, is not legitimate.
It's the product of gerrymandered maps.
Let's not get into that.
Whatever, it exists.
