ic kind of qualified person far exceeds the supply. And in the normal American, not American but human way that we deal with things, people are going to hire people underqualified so they can meet their diversity goals because that's your bonus this year.

All right. So on Tuesday, I'm going to talk to Michael Ian Black. I'm going to have a special live stream. It'll be after this one at 11:00 a.m. my time on Tuesday, which would be 2 p.m. on the East Coast. And assuming that nothing comes up between now and then the question will be not is Trump good or bad you know I know where that conversation would go so there's no point in having it but rather he asked a fascinating question how do you know the news is real and I've got about 20 things to answer that question but one of the things he posted this morning was there was a MSNBC interview in which somebody from the Heritage Foundation was being interviewed and he said, and again it's a reasonable observation, isn't this real news?

And then he did. Now it's useful, but it's opinion. I wouldn't call that news. So we have lots to talk about about what's news and what's opinion. But opinions are true in the sense that the person saying it often believes it. It's a true opinion, but that doesn't mean it's news. Exactly. That's just an opinion.
All right. And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings me to the exciting conclusion of my prepared remarks.

It might remind you of a specific company that's having some issues right now with the quality of their construction. But you can only see that if you subscribe o

n X, see my profile or if you are on the Locals platform, also a subscription. But on Locals, you'd see Robot Reads News, my other comic, and man caves and all kinds of fun other content. A lot of political stuff. If you only want the comic, get it at X. All right. Thank you. All right. I'm going to end now for the three other platforms and ju
