that could change over time. So you're estimating, right? It's not even so much what it's worth today. You also have to estimate will it still be worth that during the course of the loan because that's your collateral. Now which of those two things the top of the range or the bottom of the range would management naturally and quite reasonably take as their estimate? Management would take the top o…

lk about them being traitors and they're not on the side of America and you know that's just hyperbole because of course they are. Like I don't believe that AOC is not on the side of America. Do you? Maybe some of you do. Well but if you say she doesn't have good policies for America that's different from saying she's not on our side. But what Rashida Tlaib is pushing is so destructive to commerce in the United States that you have to wonder if that's even serious in terms of helping America because I don't see how it could. It looks like she was working for another entity. It looks like she's working for a foreign power. It doesn't look like just disagreement on politics. It looks like trying to destroy the United States. That's what it looks like. But you can't read her mind. Could be some other reason.

I have the great reset. I haven't read it so this is a season where people are sending me books and I'm getting a little behind. There's somebody who wishes they hadn't transitioned. Yeah I don't know how much attention to give the people who transitioned their gender or is it, there's how do you say that? Do they transition a gender? And I guess that's a definitional thing but there will always be people who regret every decision. There are people who regret going to college. So the fact that some people regret gender or sex change whatever it is, oh it's gender affirming surgery okay that would be the polite way to say it these days right? So there's always going to be somebody who wishes they hadn't done it. There are people who join the military and wish they hadn't. I mean there are tons of people. There are people who had a baby which they have. People who got married wish that. I don't know if that's the standard that we should use. The standard we usually use is that we allow free citizens to do dumbass things because to do otherwise would take their freedom away. And I don't think that it matters that there are higher suicide rates if that's true. I don't even know if that's true. I don't think that matters because we do let people make mistakes and we do let people make choices that we wouldn't make. You know maybe you think it's a mistake. Maybe they don't.

Yeah 40. That's not 40. I don't believe that. Too much talking today. You know that's what I do. This is pretty much just talking. All right. That's all for now. I'm gonna go do some other things. I hope my day is as weird and awesome as yesterday. How many of you thought I had a bad day yesterday if you were watc

hing the you know any of the action? I didn't have a bad day yesterday. In fact if you were to score the quality of my whole day yesterday A plus. A plus. It was an awesome day. Yeah yeah. When they feed the energy monster the energy monster is not unhappy. What Ida Bae Wells did is gave me the opportunity to have a much bigger platform. Thank you. Am I concerned that a bunch of people think I'm a…
