But the thing you got to remember is for the folks in charge, like your incumbent congressman, like this president and his family, things are going along just fine. Things are going along just fine for them. Two billion dollars in crypto money go into the first family. A secondhand jumbo jet coming from a foreign prince that, by the way, you and I are paying to retrofit. Members of Congress trading stocks at the very same moment that their votes are moving markets. It's going just fine for them. They would keep this going on forever if they could. And they could keep this going on forever, except they've got one little problem. There's an election coming up.
