you know one time change in energy prices? Kind of lucky. May we got lucky.

All right. Yeah people are staying home more blah blah. So Wall Street Journal says that kids are preferring YouTube to all other forms of entertainment. I'm going to echo that although I'm no kid. Have all of you noticed that if you turn on YouTube you'll find something very interesting to watch every single time? Have you ever noticed that it works every time? If I have some free time and I open up YouTube no question about it there are going to be five to ten things that it suggests all of which interest me.

Now go anywhere else. X actually works that way. When I go on X I'm always entertained. It's really really strange if I don't have an entertaining time on X. But if I open Netflix what are my percentage odds? Not that good. Maybe one in three that I'll find something I want to watch. At most one in four. And that's the same for all the streaming services. At one point I just signed up for all the streaming services like I just had every one of them and I could not find anything to watch.

But once I got the YouTube premium service where there's no commercials I always always have something fun to watch. YouTube is just killing everything else. There's no, and here's why. I don't want to spend a whole bunch of time looking for what I want to watch and Netflix is just a nightmare. And if you have more than one streaming service you can't remember where you stopped watching one thing. How many times have you ever done this? If you have more than one streaming service you'll watch a show and you watch a few episodes. You say hey this will be my new thing. I'll watch the rest of these. And then you can't remember which streaming service it was on and then you get frustrated because you're looking for it and it's not in the first three you try and then you just give up and you never watch it again.

Yeah it's not just me. Fairly it's not just me. Yeah I give up on most of the things I try to watch even when I like them because I can't figure out where the next episode is and it frustrates me because I sit down and if I spend 10 minutes looking for something to watch I'm going to give up. I'm literally just going to change my mind and say well that was my 10 minutes. I didn't have half an hour. I had 10 minutes and I spent the whole time looking for something. But you go to YouTube it's like oh yeah. Or not Amazon but YouTube. Oh there it is. Bang. And also a lot of the content is 10 minutes so I can see 10 minutes of something from beginning to end without looking for it. There's no competition. YouTube is just going to own everything.

Well apparently there's an Egyptian plan for solving the Gaza situation in which they do, in broad terms, they would end the war with Israel and Hamas with a ceasefire, a hostage release, and then the creation of a Palestinian government of experts who would administer to the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank. So the plan would include a different kind of government for the West Bank in addition to Gaza which is probably important. You know having Gaza different than the West Bank gave you two problems. You know wouldn't it be nice to have one? And the proposal worked out with the Gulf nations of Qatar has been presented blah blah blah but it falls short of Israel's goal of crushing Hamas so we don't think it'll happen. It's good that they're talking about it.

Now yesterday there was a brief social media bit that I can't find it in the news so I think it's not true that Saudi Arabia had a plan for administering the West Bank and Gaza. Is that true or not true? Did anybody see a story about that? It was briefly on social media but I didn't see a source. I think it's not true but I'm going to double down and say that the smartest thing that Saudi Arabia could do is offer to administer the region with Israel in charge of all the security because it would make Saudi Arabia the adult in the room and it would position them in the strongest position not only to oppose Iran because remember Iran wanted to scuttle the growing closeness between Saudi and Israel and the other countries. So it really was about thwarting Saudi from becoming more integrated with Israel and the West.

So the best way you could defeat Iran's intentions and Hamas's intentio
