percent of small businesses could survive an audit. And when I say survive I mean stay in business. What do you think? Because small businesses live almost entirely on cheating on taxes. Small businesses have small margins, right? They're just getting by. They're earning more than they're spending but not by a lot. And if you taxed what they earned, there just wouldn't be anything left.

So in my experience at the smallest end, and I'll make a distinction here. If you're talking about a small business being one that only makes 10 million a year, that's not the small business I'm talking about. I'm talking about the really small businesses, the cash businesses. Those businesses really couldn't exist if they paid taxes. Let's be honest, they couldn't exist. So what happens if they start closing down 80 percent of small businesses because they can't pass the audit? What happens if it's the same problem that you would have if you cracked down on immigration? If you cracked down on immigration, probably 80 percent of small businesses in California would close tomorrow. Did you know that?

If you cracked down on immigration, if you had a way to do it completely, you knew everybody who had fake documents and you immediately fired them and sent them back wherever they came, every small business in California would be out of business just immediately. So there are some laws that you can't enforce because the system has gone too far, building an economy that depends on the lack of enforcement. If you change it to an economy that has enforcement, I think 80 percent of the smallest businesses would just go away if they got audited.

Now I don't know if there are enough auditors to get all the way down to the lowest level. So maybe it's just companies that only made 10 million that year. That'd be different.

Here's an interesting comment I saw on a tweet, but I agree with it. So we seem to understand as a species, based on science, that fields collapse when they're observed or measured. In other words, reality seems to form after it's observed. Now I've heard some people argue that, but that's my understanding of it. And I'm seeing the same guy saying no, no, no. All right, I'm going to say that I completely disagree with your disagreement of me. I will accept your superior understanding of knowledge of science, but I think that's a handicap in this case.

I believe that once you get into the quantum science realm, we're using words to describe things that words can't describe. And we're using formulas to find truth when all we've really found is that the formula works. It doesn't extend into our understanding of reality. And so in my opinion it is true that reality d
