How do we address corporate tax avoidance?
You know, I think the dad has to sit with Chasten. My husband and I have been talking about this a lot. The dad should have to sit with, like, what he did. The guilt, yes. And there were so many parallels to what happens with Tanya where he's, like, floating, right, when he seems like he's dying or maybe sort of dead. Yeah. I think just story-wise that otherwise, you know, I don't have a lot of notes for this year's White Lotus. I mean, it was incredible.
I guess the one thing would be does anything really happen to the ultra-wealthy?
maybe that's maybe that's what he's trying to showcase which is kind of what always they always get away with it yeah that's true yeah even the kid even the kid yeah um yeah because by the time they're on the boat it's like none of that even happened right yeah and then the poor security guards that are guarding the guy they die yeah yeah no one talks about them they were mean to what's his name yeah yeah
I'm okay with that. That's a good point. They were bullies, dude. You really fell in love with that guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. He had such a pure heart. Don't bully this guy. Yeah, that is true. And then the three women seem fine after witnessing a mass shooting. Like, they're just laughing.
Just on the boat, having a good time.
Yeah, yeah. um but yeah in season one if you remember the guys the really rich kids like stabs the guy and then he's just in the airport 20 minutes later or whatever no questioning no nothing and i think that's kind of andrew's point is like i think the point of that show is the ultra wealthy one guy has his wife killed nothing seems to happen they just kind of get away with it but there is social mobility because belinda joins the club the second she joins the club what happens to her
She seems fine. She becomes the woman that she's always hated. Yeah. She doesn't use the same language. I think so. I think she's like the same words that Tanya uses. I have to do something for myself. Yeah. Yeah. But like the whole show, I was worried about her.
Yeah.
Physically, not morally.
Yeah.
And then it turns out I was well done.
And I thought that was a genius choice is you're worried about her well-being and then she gets the $5 million and you're so happy, but then she also just kind of becomes gross right after. Yeah. You know what I mean? I thought that was a really good way to put it. Money corrupts, baby. Money corrupts.
Speaking of, how do we corrupt you? No. What do we do? I keep on hearing conversations about how we're going to tax people and make a lot of money. I've been very fortunate. I've made a lot of money, and they're doing a really good job at it. How do we tax the people who really are making a lot of money, like the guys who send their wives to space for fun? How do we make sure?
What did you think about that?
The space flight? Yeah. I'm glad they got back okay. I mean, yeah, I guess. I mean, it seems to me there's some other things we could probably be paying a little more attention to. But, you know, it's exciting. Look, we're in this era of commercial space flight, which is exciting. Yeah. I worked on this when I started air transportation like that. Oh, you were part of that. Yeah.
