ys have a value? Would it if our population continues to decline? Would it if you didn't need it for farming because we were so good at farming that you needed 10% of the farmland that we use now because the robots and the AI are doing underground indoor farms. Whatever it is possible. All right. So I'd like to double back on a story that you already know about. I saw a clip. I think it was on th…

l, but you only hired left-handed Albanians, what would happen to the capability of your major institutions? Right? So there's no racism involved. There's no sexism. There's no sexual choice. Everybody in the world is an Albanian. But you've artificially said, I'll only hire left-handed Albanians. You tell me, do you run out of qualified people faster than if you said, we'll hire any Albanian. They just have to be qualified.

They would have just been accused of being racist. But we're finally finally at a point where white males in particular are less afraid of being called racist and that it's I think increasingly obvious that there was a whole South African situation going on in the United States, but it's been going on for decades. I've been talking about it for a while, but there does seem to be some kind of new freedom to talk about it and that's good n

ews. Speaking of DEI, the California Globe, Katie Grimes is writing that Governor Newsom, I didn't know about this, but apparently did you know that California had an equity task force that had recommendations on how to take land away from white farmers and distribute it to non-white farmers in California? You probably thought I said South Africa, right? In California recently, this is recent, th…
