It's closing year.

If we do the Alaska fur trade, it's closing year will be the Great Depression.

Very cool.

Remember like the flappers, you know, like the Roaring Twenties, everybody running around with all that fur?

A lot of that fur was coming out of Alaska.

No kidding.

It was like money.

All these things, all these different areas we're talking about are the potential for life-changing amount of money for people.

And they're all markets that emerge and then die and emerge and die.

And usually, there's usually a variety of factors that leads to their death.

With the Buffalo one, it died because they were gone.

And the crazy part about those guys is

Some knew what they were doing, and some were legitimately, they didn't know what they had done.

On the Texas plains, the hide hunters were convinced that a bunch of them had run into Mexico, and there was more in Mexico, more buffalo in Mexico.

In northern Montana, they'd all gone into Canada, and they held out hope, and they waited around.

One year, two year.

And eventually it was like, you know what I think might've happened, dude, is I think we maybe killed them all.

It's over, you know?

So, so that, that history stuff is, is something I love working on.

Yeah.
