Hey, everybody. Stephen Mulniew, it is the second of November 24. What is that? A couple days before

the U.S. election? I don't know, man. If it wasn't for the squirrel, Kamala might have had it,

but the squirrel might change it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's hard to say.

It's hard to say. My guess is that it's

going to be unresolved for quite some time. It's going to be unresolved for quite some time.

You know, there's a certain amount of, quote, bad behavior that a system can handle, and when

the bad behavior becomes greater than the system can handle, you get massive constipation

of potential justice.

So, we shall see, we shall see, it's a ride much more fun to observe than, as in the past,

participate in. I suppose you could say. I'll just talk a little bit before we take your

questions, if indeed questions you have,

but I got a question about my novel Just Poor. Now, don't worry if you haven't read the

novel, this will still be of great, deep, and visceral interest to you, so don't worry about that.

Don't worry about that. But in my novel Just Poor, which is about the

conflict between the earned and the unearned, there's a lord and aristocrat named Lawrence Carvey.

And he has a dream about lying in a bed of twisted skeletons.

And somebody was asking me, what does his dream mean?

Well, I'll tell you that his dream means that the power, privilege, prestige, intelligence, and even to some degree his good looks, were inherited from prior ancestors.

So there's a mirror of the abused orphan Mary in Lady Lydia, which is a love interest of Lawrence's.

Spoiler or two here, so.

So Lawrence is born into privilege and travels all of Europe learning about the latest farming

techniques and methods and then magnanimously comes back and tries to improve the farming yields of this is that takes place in the late 18th century.
