All right.
Well, and the financial incentives with regards to immigration are all, of course, and the financial incentives with regards to immigration are all, of course, and all Thank you.
Somebody says, my mother agrees with me on politics.
She just knows my sister has a rage problem that when you trigger her, there's no talking to her for hours.
My sister is like 50 now, so expect a little more maturity at this point.
I mean, maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
Maybe I'm missing something.
But who the hell bothers growing up unless you have to?
I mean, I had to grow up pretty damn early.
As I said, I've been paying my own bills since I was 15 years old.
Got my first job at the age of 10. I had to grow up pretty damn quickly.
I mean, your sister is 50. Most people don't grow up.
Most people don't grow up.
If there's any alternative to them growing up, they won't grow up.
The natural state of humanity is stasis, paralysis, and stagnation.
Nobody grows unless they have to.
They don't hunt unless they have to.
They don't hunt unless they're hungry.
The rest of the time, they're slowly drifting along with the sunbeams on the dusty, wooden, hardwood floor.
So...
Most people don't grow up, unless they have to.
And of course, there's this cocoon of fake money that's around people, right?
The alimony child support, particularly for women, there's, you know, highly pumped up wages and the welfare state and all of that.
So women can stay in this kind of cocoon and society, like the way that you corrupt a society is defer to the women, primarily, right?
Defer to the women.
Praise the women, say that they're wonderful, they can do no wrong, pump up the women's vanity, that pair bonding at the birth rate.
It's the praise of women.
Well, this is all the way back to the Garden of Eden, right?
All the way back to this.
So yeah, I mean, most people don't grow up unless they have to, and it doesn't sound like your sisters had to at all.
Most people don't compromise unless they have to, which is why relationships have become somewhat insufferable for so many people, right?
Some old lady I used to work with, someone used to say, if you wait until you can afford children to have them, you'll never have them.
Well, and this used to be well understood, of course, and well transmitted down through the generations, particularly among the men, is have kids and you'll find a way.
Right?
A man's income goes up significantly when he gets married and significantly again when he becomes a father.
There's a kind of laser-like intensity and maturity that comes to men who have children, which is why a culture also collapses when men don't have children because they never grow up.
You don't grow up until you become a father.
You just don't.
You just don't.
I mean, tell you that straight up.
And It's not that it's bad before, right?
But you don't grow up until you become a father, and you don't really work seriously until you become a father.
So you have kids, and the money will come.
The money will come.
Lots of male aggression sublimated into sports ball, yeah, for sure.
Me and my wife live in a tenement with our boy.
We don't have tons, but we have a car, food, and lots of love and fun.
Thanks for your consistent output.
Appreciate it.
Thank you for the tip.
That's very kind.

All right.
My sister had a master's degree in business but worked as a model for 20 years.
The rage drove her husband away.
Her daughter and her son seemed so incredibly weak.
Oh, is this the same woman?
Well, and of course, just encourage women to pursue useless higher education degrees because the number one colorate...
I used to say, you know, do you remember back before Christmas when I could do shows?
That was great.
I had all this, what's the word I'm looking for?
Eloquence?
No, that's not it.
Wordiness.
Syllables.
Morpheums.
That was great.
I had a good run.
You know, made it to 58. Almost in my 59th year.
You know, good run.
Good for me.
Excellent.
Well done.
What the hell was I talking about?
Look at you.
You get to watch the collapse of my brain in real time.
This must be quite exciting for people as a whole.
Articulation?
No, that's not it either.
But of course, you know, the voting population is beginning to understand that the Democrats are the party of the resentful poor, and the Republicans are the party of the greedy rich.
So...
What do you mean?
The Republicans, they don't like...
They don't like even the legal immigration?
Just because it's legal, don't make it moral.
