Yes, and I've written about this for the last year, right? Can you give an example of that? Yeah, I can give a good example of that. So, you know, not to get too academic too quickly, but basically, Congress is supposed to pass the laws and the executive branch is supposed to enforce the laws.

But it turns out that most of the laws that decide what you can and can't do in your life were actually never passed by Congress. Right. They were passed by people who were never elected to their position. The managerial class. The managerial class. The bureaucrats in D.C. What's a law? Give me an example. So they don't call laws. They call them rules, but they have the effect of laws. Right.

Let's say the amount of fees that fishermen have to pay to the government to have a license to be able to fish in a particular area.

Let's say it is the registration requirement before a bank or an asset manager is allowed to do business. Let's say it is the procedural hoop that a biotech company has to jump through before advancing from phase one to phase two of the development process.

Let's say it's the permission that a coal miner or a nuclear energy plant has to get as permission from the government before they build a new nuclear energy plant, which, by the way, has not happened in 20 years in this country because the red tape associated with doing so is so impossible. Now, I imagine none of those were passed by Congress. Yes.

None of those were passed by people that we the people elected. Right. They were written into law. They call them rules, but effectively into law. Yeah. By unelected bureaucrats. Right. And the thing is, that's not a democracy. Right. It might be something else, but it's not a democracy. Because in a democracy, if somebody makes a law that affects you. Yeah. You get to vote them out.

That's what it makes a law. These are more like edicts. Yeah. Edicts come from a king. Yeah. Because you can't vote them out. This doesn't come from a king, but it's a new kind of. edict of a bureaucracy.
