lose a dollar, you lose like I don't know, the multiplier would probably be 10 maybe 10 to one. I don't know what the real number is, but it's a lot. So just letting a dollar leave our system to go back to the home country, that $1 is like $10 in terms of GDP over time. So yeah, velocity. Exactly. Somebody took an economics course. Yeah, velocity is what we're talking about.

And let's see. So I guess they're going to flag anything that's over $2,000. That probably will go down over time. That's a lot of money actually sending back to the home country.

Well, now Trump has put a pause on US immigration, a permanent pause, well I don't know how permanent it is, from third world countries. Now, do you remember when Trump tried the so-called Muslim ban and that didn't work out? So he modified it and then it worked out. Why did he never try third world ban? It does seem like that would capture everything you didn't want. You know, that the third world would capture kind of all kinds of situations. And if you needed, I suppose if you needed to make an exception, it wouldn't be that hard. But it seems kind of clean to just say we don't let people from third world countries in unless it's a special situation because I don't know how much is helping us.

Now the other factors that are impossible to predict are the effect of a decreasing population. You know, our reproduction rate is below replacement. So it's not like we're going to be able to get away with not importing people unless the robot revolution is so fast that we just never need to import another person and then we would slowly turn into a robot country. Uh-oh. I just realized that's probably what's going to happen. Okay.

Work with me here. So let's say that we limit migration, immigration into the country and let's say that our repopulation rate stays below replacement. There would be fewer humans every day, but because we're at the beginning of the robot revolution, there would be more robots every day. Now, in the beginning, we're going to say humans are humans and robots are robots and they're just tools. But as those robots become more and more humanlike, which is guaranteed, it's going to happen fast, will we so easily call the robots tools and the humans the important thing when the number of robots starts surpassing the number of humans? What happens when the United States becomes 90% humanoid robots doing all the things that humans do and 10% humans? Are we destined to become a robot only country? You know that could happen right in the real world. There's a possibility that sometime maybe even in your lifetime, well not in your lifetime probably but there's a real possibility that the United States will be only populated by humanoid robots that can also reproduce. What would stop that from happening right? All the trends are in that direction. Our population will reduce, our immigration will go to zero, and the number of robots that are, you know, indistinguishable from humans basically will start at zero, but it's going to go to millions, you know, within just a few short years. So, robot nation coming up.

There is a rumor this morning that I do not believe is true. There's no confirmation for it, but I'll just tell you the rumor. The rumor is that Venezuelan leader Maduro may have tried to escape Venezuela in an airplane that apparently is known to be his airplane, but there is no confirmation of anything of the sort. So the news is not treating it like that's a real story yet. So I would say that is unlikely to be true. I also wouldn't understand how Maduro's plane c
