If people who are already making a lot of money, if you give them the ability to invest more and you make it easier for them to invest more, it's actually better for everybody. That's hard for people to get their heads around because they're like, wait, that person's already rich. Bezos is already rich. Why should Amazon and Andy Jassy's already rich? Uh, you know, the people who work at Facebook, Zuckerberg's already rich, why should they be able to buy more companies and make their company bigger?

Well, if you look at it as, hey, we're all Americans. And that company is a global company that's making money around the world. It's giving an advantage to our country. That's why we have the lowest unemployment of our lifetimes. That's why the country has done so well.

Yeah, it's just hard for, I think, people on the bottom sometimes or really highly educated people, as I wrote in my piece on my Substack the other week with Generation Xi. For the for that socialist bent, I think it's really hard when you have $200,000, $300,000 in student loans and no job prospects because your degree means nothing to employers. It's pretty hard to buy into capitalism, right? This week in startups is brought to you by Oracle. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI, is a single platform for your infrastructure, database.
