Hi, Nick and Goli. When did you figure this out and would you have had to make any changes in your own business as a result?

They want to enact a tax on the unrealized capital gains of billionaires. I would love to hear your take on this issue.

And my question is, how is any form of union busting legal isn't one of our most fundamental rights the right to assemble.

Thank you for letting me leave my question.

I appreciate it very much, and I love this show.

199,000. We're going backwards. And the revised report is 510,000 jobs added. That's 700,000 jobs that were initially missed in the

November and December reports. That's a lot. On its own, that would have been a decent jobs report
