that how do you actually do the affordability? Well, he's got a bunch of ideas that we know always fail or we think we know that. We think we're that smart.

So he had an idea for government grocery stores. Well, that's been tried and didn't work anywhere. And then I guess something about free transportation and some other free stuff. And you can't get that stuff unless you're raising taxes on people, etc. So it's hard to get there. But here's what Elizabeth Warren has added to his framing that those potential solutions that Zohran is mentioning are experiments. In other words, they're not committing to, oh yeah, no matter what, we're going to have government grocery stores, but rather committing to an experiment in which they see if there's any way you can make a government grocery store be additive without being a huge disaster.

To which I say that really unfortunately that's a pretty effective approach because you know most people would say it's been tried and it didn't work. Well if she calls it experimental she just has to say yeah we're going to try doing it a different way and if it doesn't work we'll try something else or we'll abandon it. And then I go, "Ah, oh, that makes sense." Because I don't know for sure that there's no way you could ever do anything that was additive for some number of poor people who were using their SNAP benefits to buy soda. Maybe I'm open to the experiment. So she has very cleverly shifted it from I have these specific ideas of how to get you some affordability. She's shifted it to we can play with this. We can experiment with this and it's pretty clever if he buys it. If he doesn't buy into the experiment part of the frame or nobody else does, then it won't go anywhere. But I think she's smart to put it in that frame.

According to ADP, the payroll service company, private company hiring has bounced back and they've hired 104,000 people since July. I saw Unusual Whales on X reporting that. To which I say, does ADP really know that? Why does the government not know about jobs when jobs are mostly payroll is mostly automated? If payroll is automated pretty much everywhere, are you telling me that the government can't figure out how many paychecks are out there and know that there are more of them or less of them? Does the government really not know how many people paid disability tax this past month? We really don't know that the money is taken out of people's accounts and goes into another account and we don't know. We can't measure the volume of that every month to know if it's more or fewer people are on payroll. So I don't know. It seems to me this is a very fixable problem.

How many of you have had the experience that when one hoax is revealed, it changes how you feel about the other alleged hoaxes? Has anybody had that yet?

Here's one that's affecting me. I think maybe Mike Benz is affecting my brain on this as well. If we did not know, and we do know that the Russia collusion hoax was orchestrated by the CIA, the CIA and the FBI and the highest levels of our elected officials, if we didn't know that that all really happened in the real world, would you be willing to believe that the two assassination attempts against the president may have had a US government connection? I probably would have rejected that automatically if there had never been a President Kennedy assassination in which in hindsight, it seems, I think, obvious that our CIA was intimately involved in that. If you had never heard of that, it would be pretty hard to imagine that it could ever happen again, or for the first time in your opinion if you didn't know that it happened once.

And then we find out that in our lifetime, the worst political act we've ever seen, which was the Russia collusion hoax, the degree of coor
