We did have a COVID baby, yep.

So will the baby boom work? You know what's interesting about this? I always talk about it. Do you guys remember the movie It's a Wonderful Life, like the Christmas movie, that one?

And he goes into – he says, I want to see my wife.

incredibly backwards in the 1940s you know during world war ii essentially and the word spinster the idea of social shame around this was seen as a really really bad outcome whereas these days they say oh you know go and get your masters in library affairs go get your mla or whatever and that's considered this great good and then they tell you to not even have kids you put off family formation

You know, we don't want to be a country where we're forced to, you know, hollow out our population replacement by replacing them with like like like, you know, more immigrants, which is what we've been doing since the 1970s, essentially. and saying, oh, well, you know, who is going to do these jobs?
