nd say all right we have a chance now. We got rid of the anchor that was holding us back. I'm glad they self-identified as useless because we got rid of them. Nobody even argued. Oh you're going to get rid of the useless people. And it wouldn't even be racial because it would be distributed across races and everything. So you say it's not even racial. It's just all the useless people. All the people who add nothing to society will just round them up and put them in camps or kill them all.

Had you ever thought about that? Had you ever considered that you're guaranteeing the death of the people who stopped working?

And I'm going to generalize this to a bigger point. There's no such thing as security in this world. You're never safe. You could have the illusion of being safe and you could be safer than other situations so you can be safer but you can never be safe. We don't live in a safe world. But one thing you can do to make yourself as safe as you can in a dangerous world is to be useful to other people. Nothing is going to help you more than that. All of your happiness, all of your financial success, all of your physical safety is going to depend on how useful you are to other people.

If you're taking a UBI and you're nothing but a drain on other people don't expect to be safe. Do not expect to be safe because other people don't care about you at that point. They really don't. If you're just going to take my money and give me nothing in return, good luck. You're on your own.

So I would argue that the more you create your talent stack the safer you are, right? Why was it that I wasn't panicked when I got canceled worldwide in my primary profession for 34 years? Why did it not send me into a death spiral? Because my talent stack is so well developed I knew I could just do other things. And so within a day I was already spinning up my other things and they're working fine. And it's only because I've spent a lifetime on developing a set of skills that I know work together and have commercial value. If you don't have that going on you're not safe. You can only make yourself safe by developing a talent stack that helps other people in some way they find value in it. That's your advice for today.

Well I don't know if I said this yesterday but Governor Newsom got himself in a trap by commissioning this group to recommend reparations. Then they came back with an absurd number that some are saying would cost 800 billion dollars, two and a half times the annual budget of California according to NBC. So now Newsom has two choices. If he backs reparations he has no future in politics. Would you agree? He has no future in politics if he backs the reparations. But if he doesn't back them he has no future in politics, not national politics. Yeah it might make, he might be able to get reelected, probably not, but he would certainly be out of the race for president. There's no way he could be president, right? That would be completely dead.

So he can't accept it because then he'd be dead and he can't reject it because then he'd be dead politically. So what are you going to do? You can't accept it. You can't reject it. Resign? No. He's going to form a new committee to study the recommendations of the first committee. That's what I would do. That's what I would do. I'd form a new committee to look into the committee's recommendation and then I would wait a year and see if everybody forgot about it and maybe release it on a late Friday afternoon. It looks like it wasn't practical. Well we tried but the committee that examines the committee found that the first committee didn't do its job as well as it could. So I guess it's dead in the water. It's a good thing I asked the committee to look at the other committee.

Now every path he takes on this is the losing path but that's the least losing path. So I predict it.

All right, meanwhile over in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz did a big event in which he introduced and announced a new Chief Equi
