hanting was fuck Trudeau. So the UFC fans in Canada are not big fans of the prime minister. But I use this story to remind you that sometimes we think we're in some kind of political opinion difference. I'm not sure that's true. I think it's a testosterone difference.

All right. End Wokeness noted that in Australia they've got a mass migration problem too. 737,000 migrants in 2023. So one out of 36 Australians arrived last year. Wow.

Is China pretty happy they put their money in Africa? Because they built some gleaming facilities that are working out just the way they hoped. As far as I know China has basically wasted immense amounts of resources in Africa and got almost not

hing in return. Now not positive that's true. Well the rare minerals might be a valid argument. So I do think they're getting resources. But what I don't think is that they're delighted with the return on their investments. Because America also has seemingly all the rare materials we need. I mean we're building stuff. So China has raw materials like rare earth. We have rare earth. But we didn't sp…
