hey doing duriske i'm good i was just thinking about something i meant to talk to you about

i always i always ruminate about just write it down would you know i go i did I write down as I come and walk in the door. And that is, I, you know, I'm sick of, politically, I'm sick of everybody. I think I've said this before. I'm sort of libertarian. I'm like super moderate. I'm right in the middle. And I'm sick of, I'm sick of particularly extreme ideas and positions and acrimony. I'm really sick of it. And I was talking

to a guy today who is telling me, you know what, you need to stop thinking about right and left

because there doesn't really exist in this country so much as a Republican and Democrat, which are

just these two bureaucratic systems that really just exist to defend their existence.

You know what I mean?

Yes.

And they do, they believe and support whatever it is they need to do to support their bureaucratic maintenance.

It's no longer about ideas or ideology points of view.

It's just, it's just I'm a Democrat because, I'm a Republican because,

and then they develop these ideas that are sort of disconnected from reality, but help support

their system. I agree. And I was talking about that with someone earlier today as well.

Oh, weird. But in different terms, a little more intelligent terms. Thank you. Thank you.

I was saying that it, look, the therapist,

I'm looking to call it the therapist, the lobbyists and the politicians and the special

interest groups, they're going to do what they've got to do. That's fine. That's how they do it.

To exist, to keep their existence going.

That's all they, that's all they're really concerned. What do we, what are we following them for?

Right. And so I said, I'll give you an example, left and right. You say, I'll give you the right

example. You take the NRA. You go, hey, look, we don't care about the NRA and we don't care about handguns, but we got a problem with assault rifles.
