I wanted to, I wanted to, a brief political statement to start this because, you know,

Oh, great. Yeah. There's nothing going on there these days. Yeah, I think, and, you know, forgive me. This is

something I wrote 10 minutes ago. So, you know, oh, it's that kind of Marco political statement. Oh,

my. Reading from a prepared statement. Yeah. Very, very, very, it's still hot is that i guess that's where hot takes come from is that the free

is that hit i actually never realized probably oh that anyway um you know a lot of people are

you know very upset right now with what's going on with you know the inauguration in the beginning

and all the executive orders and and it's you know it it's, it's going to be rough for a while.

And I think what we, what we have to try to keep in mind is that the Republican agenda is wealth transfer to the top.

That's the big thing. To accomplish and conceal that, they gain votes and power by division, cruelty, and violence. But the goal is the wealth transfer to the top. If you look at what they actually do, that's mainly it in different forms. You know, they tax cuts to the corporations, tax cuts to the rich, straight up corruption, which is now even more right at in the open than anything,

but also things like, you know, large scale deregulation, regulatory capture, and the

politicization of the justice system. And I think the latter part there, that is why it seems like

we are seeing a very sharp and aggressive turn to the right by all the big

tech companies they all are now explicitly supporting the republican party to in my view to

selfishly benefit from the wealth transfer and deregulatory aspects and they the price they paid to get those gains is to completely sell their souls and their

morals out by therefore also supporting the division, cruelty, and violence that Republicans

require as a smokescreen and a source of power.

This is going to be something we're going to be

fighting and angered and hurt by and possibly damaged by from any of us for a long time now.

And I don't know how to fix it. There is no quick and easy fix. We can't just turn all of our

avatars blue or put stickers on our cars and expect anything to change.

What I suggest that we do is practice the opposite of their playbook.

So what's the opposite of division, cruelty, and violence?
