ective and it doesn't work.

Now what's the counter to that? And I think in the ivermectin study, I believe the counter is that they're all in the same direction. That the entire point of it is that there's nothing in the other direction. So in that case a meta-analysis I think actually makes sense. But you can't trust it because of its subjectivity. Or let me say this, maybe you didn't need the meta-analysis. So it fits that model. You didn't need it because they're all in the same direction.

Now fact check me on that. I don't know if they're all in the same direction, but I feel as if that was the main point, is that they were in fact all in the same direction.

And that was some of the few things that I needed to talk about today. I feel as though we're entering the summer where things are going to slow down a little bit. And I would like to ask this question of you.

I told you yesterday that in my town there's some kind of a golden age situation going on. My Main Street turned into like a festival every weekend, you know, with the street is closed to traffic and it's outdoor dining. People have their masks off. People are so happy they can't stand it.

Thank you, Ron, I'm going to mention that in a moment. And is anybody else having the experience that their town is just insanely happy right now? Gun control is racist, says Marusha, that the Republicans should say that. I'm not sure Republicans feel as comfortable as you might imagine saying that gun control is racist, but I see your point. Yeah, I can see your point. It's just that'd be a hard message for the Republicans to take.

All right, back to your town. Somebody says yes in Texas, no in Santa Cruz. My town is happy. Portland isn't very happy. New Jersey not so good. I see a yes from Karina. No, I'm in Canada. I'm sorry, not in Canada. Canada is sad. All the Canadians are complaining here. Canada is not too happy. Yes, Jan says a lot more people around walking. That's definitely true.

Where is Jack Ma? Yeah, that's a good question. Montana is great. New York City sucks. Connecticut good. Atlanta definitely. New York City is back, baby. Wichita has been great for a while. Philadelphia is the pits. Sorry, Missouri yes.

All right, well it looks like we're coming back, folks. We're coming back. How about taking a moment, take a moment for me to go back in time. Do you remember about this time last year people were afraid that the entire economy was going to fall apart? All right, and it didn't. It didn't. And we did rally and we beat this damn thing. I mean I think it's beaten even if it lasts forever. I mean we're back to nearly normal at this point and we're looking good.

So I feel like we all lived through something amazing, and I think we'll all be changed because of it and changed in lots of ways. But I think the golden age is just going to impress itself upon us whether we like it or not. And I so feel that the pandemic was some sort of system reboot. That the pandemic did more than anything in my life to just change everything about the way you think about people. You had to re-engineer your entire life from scratch.

And I would like to ask you this question. How many of you are having trouble rebuilding your friend network and social network? Is there anybody who lost their social network during this pandemic whose needs used to rebuild it? And you're saying where are all my friends? I need some friends now. Just want to say in the comments that if that's a common problem or not.

Kevin says oh, we're getting a lot of yeses to that. Yep, yep, yep. All right, so I was going to do a mi
