They're not qualified, but they think they are. So they often clog our HR. I thought that was kind of an exaggeration. Until Mark Andreessen gave that famous interview that we've been referencing with Mark Douthat. I mean, Ross Douthat. Ross Douthat. Yeah, Douthat. And when Andreessen said, my lieutenant came to me, my CEO came to me and said, it's not just that they're...

The extremists, they want to destroy us. He's talking about his own employees that were hired. They used to want to get ahead, and now they want to destroy the company. And so ideology and incompetence are a bad mixture. I get so worked up because I see this thing every week, this high-speed rail monstrosity. And it's almost like a golden calf, you know, and we are pagans that worship it.

I call it Stonehenge for a variety of reasons. It looks like Stonehenge because you have all of these bridges. Bridges to nowhere. Bridges. Well, there's no tracks. So what they did, everybody, is there's all of these major thoroughfares that they had to go across on high-speed rail. It goes so fast that they can't make a lot of turns. So they had this route.

And their idea was to build them all in very public places first along the 99. So everybody would see they were making progress and they had big billboards. And then in between them, they hadn't even got the land yet. And they were in court and they hadn't cleared the area. And the point I'm making is they had the most sophisticated people.

publicity team, hit team, that any criticism was always counter, Matt. And I got sick of it. All these people, how dare you say that? How dare you do that? And when you look at the composition of the board, there was a lot of developers on it too, at least one or two or three of them at different times. So I just think the whole thing was a mess. I wish they would have.

I think she may be controversial.

But she said, my gosh, Victor, it's just a receptacle for homeless people and graffiti that were around the bridges. So ugly. So they airbrush it out now and they try to pressure wash it off. But yeah. Well, Victor, we... It's too bad. It's too bad we wasted so much money.
