ro the next day. There's nothing that would stop that. So under normal conditions and maybe a few years ago I would have opposed this as a bad idea, bad messaging, bad look. But I think everybody understands crypto if they're going to buy some. Buying crypto is just hard enough that if you didn't know anything about crypto you'd probably prevent yourself from buying it because you don't want to lo…

It's just people telling us what's true and we don't know. So I wouldn't believe any war death claims except that I feel it's almost certainly in the tens of thousands but beyond that you know any kind of accuracy would be ridiculous.
So are they still, is Israel still making legitimate military progress of wrapping up the Hamas fighters? Is it just every day they get a few more so they should just keep grinding until they're done? Or do they reach some kind of wall where the harder they fight they're not really getting any extra Hamas fighters because they're all dug in better or something? And I also don't know how much of Gaza is even left. In the best case scenario you know when we talk about the fires in LA we're talking about five years before anybody can maybe get back in the house. Are we talking about that in Gaza? That there's nothing left. There's no electricity. There's no water. Everything's polluted and toxic. How could they ever resettle it? And it's not like Israel is going to be working as hard as they can to get it ready for resettlement by Hamas and their supporters. So I feel like there's no real hope that Gaza turns back into anything like it used to be. But to be fair Israel said that from the beginning. They said when we're done Gaza won't be anything that you're used to. And I think we interpreted that exactly the way it's turning out.
So I guess my only point is that we've hit some kind of a I don't know if it's because of lack of interest or lack of access but we just stopped getting really interested in what's happening on the ground there and that's weird.
Anyway researchers according to Louisiana State University have found a way to recycle plastic. They use electromagnetic waves to melt the plastic from the inside out which requires far less energy. So yeah they can reuse it now. It's a ways off but they can do it in the lab and if it's way less energy it's way less expensive and so there might be a way to recycle your plastic. You know I thought for a long time that what I really want is an electromagnetic plastic melting technology that would turn plastic into something that I could use in my 3D printer. So I'd like to take all my plastic bottles and throw them in a bin and then at the end of the month push a button and it just crushes them into basically ink for the printer but they would print goods. So you'd make yourself some I don't know you wouldn't want to do dishware because maybe you don't want to eat off of plastic but you could probably find things you would use. You make some goods out of it, sell them, maybe. Who knows.
All right ladies and gentlemen that's all I have for this Sunday. The rumors about the inauguration appear to be fake. So yesterday there was some rumors that even the indoor Rotunda inauguration was going to be moved yet again for security reasons. People speculated but I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true. I think it's going to be in the Rotunda and the Capital One stadium that the overflow people are going to be in is covered so people are going to be warm and they're going to be with each other which is almost as important as being with Trump. And then Trump's going to show up at the stadium where everybody's warm and they've been partying and they're just dying to see him. So I think Trump's going to make this even better than it was. I don't think he gave up anything. I think packing them into the stadium and keep

ing them warm was the right answer in every way. You know not just for safety but also for weather and keeping everybody safe and happy, giving them a good memory of the event. So to me that's all positive and we'll be paying attention especially for the security concerns. I don't want to see anything like that. All right now it's going to be two rallies. Owen says so there's a rally today. Is th…
