I think the number one reason people join companies and number one people leave companies, whether they've been to join mine or to leave mine in the past, have been that they feel like they're able to do more than they're able to with their skillset than that environment permits them to actually achieve.

And so I think that's what people hung for. We think about capitalism and true free market capitalism. And we used words earlier like meritocracy. It's about building a system, whether it's in a nation or whether it's even within an organization that allows every individual to flourish and achieve the maximum of their potential.

And sometimes it just doesn't match for an organization where let's say the mission is here and somebody's skill sets could be really well aligned to a different mission. Then the right answer is it's not a negative thing. It's just that that person needs to leave and find their mission somewhere else.

But to bring that back to government, I think part of what's happened right now is that the rise of that bureaucracy in so many of these government agencies has actually obfuscated the mission of these agencies. I think if you went to most federal bureaucracies and just asked them, like, what's the mission? I'm just making one up off the top of my head right now.

The Department of Health and Human Services. What is the mission of HHS in the United States of America? I doubt somebody who works there, even the person who leads it, could give you a coherent answer to that question. I just I just heavily doubt it. And you could fill in the blank for, you know, any range of the Department of Commerce.

I mean, it could go straight down the list of each of these other ones. What is the mission of this organization? You could say for the U.S. military, what's the purpose of the U.S. military, the Department of Defense? I can give you one. I think it is to win wars and more importantly, through its strength to avoid wars. That's it.

Well, OK, if that's the mission, then, you know, OK, it's not tinkering around and messing around in some foreign conflict where we kind of feel like it sometimes and other ones where we don't. And who decides that? I don't really know. But whoever the people are that decide that we follow those orders. No, our mission is to protect the United States of America, to win wars and to avoid wars.
