First of all, I want to start by saying income inequality is a fake issue. It's not real. It's not real because the march of time and capitalism improves the quality of life for every single person that lives in that capitalist country. The poorest of the poor today are often better off than the richest of the rich two hundred years ago. It's a social issue amplified by social media where now you can see what the what the wealthy live like. It engenders a feeling of jealousy. Jonah, how's it going? Can you guys hear me?
Nice to see you. I can hear you great.
Okay. Great. I got I got my setup going. I'm here at my parents' house. That's why you see this beautiful rug hanging behind me and not the usual background. And not only that, Jonah. Not only that, I'm actually wearing one of my dad's suits. Pants and tie. It fits on you? It fits. It fits. I mean, we we actually we're basically the same size, which is which is great. So I didn't have that. And he's like totally, totally and utterly obsessed with clothing.
