you know, the socialist in me coming out, I'm not a socialist, I'm a capitalist, but a leaning heart liberal, is that, okay, this company is the value of the German stock market, and one in five households with children in America is food insecure? I mean, it's both inspiring that America creates this alchemy of innovation, capital, free markets, hard work, risk-taking that results in this type of value creation, but we can't figure out a way not to have veterans, homeless veterans? I mean, it's just sort of, how the fuck can we not figure out to guarantee every American basic childcare, healthcare, that you won't be homeless, that if your wife gets lung cancer, it doesn't mean you're going bankrupt, and if you're nine years old, we're gonna make damn sure you have three meals a day. How can we create $220 million in one company in one day, but we can't figure that shit out? It just strikes me as, we are such a dichotomy of the best and worst of capitalism, and that's unfair. I don't wanna assign it to capitalism. I think we can figure this out, but I think this is another example of, the bottom line is, the tax rates on corporations are just too low.
