[00:00:05] You're listening to casual talk radio, where common sense is still the norm, whether you're a new or a longtime listener. We appreciate you joining us today. Visit
[email protected] and now here's your host, Leister.
[00:00:21] Okay, I've got two topics today. One topic I really don't want to be talking about because I said I was going to try to avoid it in the past episode. By the way, welcome if you're new to casual talk radio, but I am. I need to speak on it because it's, it's, it's offensive, I guess is the best way to describe that.
[00:00:42] I'm gonna leave it for the second half of the show. The first half of the show is a bit of a rant, and it's a rant to try to help people that are getting in the workplace for the first time. Maybe you're younger and you're getting in the workplace the first time, or you've been in the workplace for a while and you're frustrated at your job. For those that don't know, because you're newish. I own my own business. I work with customers who use my service to improve their process. That's essentially what I do, and I paid a lot of money for this.
[00:01:12] I do things the most efficient way possible with the least amount of cost, the quickest turnaround time, and I like to test the waters. If I see that we're already in a hell hole, I like to take some steps to avoid getting back in said hell hole the second time around. So I may add other steps that are designed to avoid the same pitfalls. Because I know why it happened. This takes understanding why it happened. This takes analysis. Lean methodology is one strategy you can use to understand why something happened and take steps to fix it. But there's multiple different methodologies. What I find, and it's frustrating in modern society, is a tendency to overreact when something happens. This is a lack of understanding about events. Let's use some real world examples to talk through why events, and an understanding of events and event management is critical, and it'll help you in the workplace. You probably have situations where your boss didn't get it. You'll hear me talk about this and you'll get PTSD flashbacks, and I apologize for that. But I think it's an important topic.
[00:02:24] Let's simplify. Event.
[00:02:27] An event is something happened. That's an event. Okay. An event might be a positive, might be a negative, might be neutral. The point is, something happened.
[00:02:40] Some events require we do something. Some events don't require we do anything. Some events require we notify somebody. Some events require we physically move to do something. The point is we have to understand first how to recognize the event, then categorize the event, then create a plan of attack for the event, then reflect.
[00:03:06] If it's an event that comes for the first time, because that happens. Create a plan so that the next time we can recognize it faster and we can respond quicker.
[00:03:16] What tends to happen in the workplace, they don't have any understanding about what I just described in their mind. Any event requires that we immediately set off clax and call everybody. We have to create a war room and call seven different ftes into a room and then have meetings to talk about what happened. And I create a plan and we have to immediately get on something and stop what we're doing, and we have to be called on Sunday. They overreact. This is a lack of understanding of the event, because some events do not require overreaction. Some events don't require an reaction at all. Servers computers they have to be patched. Why? Because we're trying to keep them safe from harm. Somebody might be doing malicious intent. Somebody might be deploying viruses. The point is we need to keep them safe and secure. Thus they must be patched. If it's a Windows based computer, the windows based computer has to be rebooted after patches are applied. Why? Because the files that are being patched are often in use when you're using the computer. In order for those to be patched, they have to not be in use. The only way to do that is to reboot the computer so that the files can be released and appropriately patched. Once the computer has been rebooted, everything returns. The problem is for that period of time between when you say, let's reboot this computer, and when it comes back up and you log back in, certain things will not work. So in the case of a server, which is nothing more than a computer that runs on its own without a human, there's things that it has to serve up to somebody who's asking, such as a website. If the server is being patched at the time, that server is not going to respond for the duration that it's being rebooted. It may not respond if something goes wrong with the patch. Each of these are events. First, the need to patch is an event we don't have to act on. The need to patch. The actual patching is an event we may or may not need to act when it's patching the request to reboot is an event. We may or may not need to act for that request. The actual reboot is an event. We may or may not mean to act on that when it comes back up. If it comes back up, let's say it doesn't, that's an event. If it does, that's an event. Logging back in is an event. The service is coming back up is an event. Each of these is an event. Some of them require no action. If you do updates on your computer, do you immediately stop what you're doing on the computer? Yes. Not everywhere else. You go off about your stuff until it's done, and when it comes back up, you get back on as normal because you don't treat it as a serious something. The only time you treat it as a serious something is if your computer doesn't come back up like you expect it to. If you reboot it and it doesn't power back on or it gives you a blue screen of death or some other issue that's not expected, you may need to take action. What is the action? The action might be let's reboot it again just in case it's a fluke. The action might be called geek squad. I certainly hope you don't do that. The action might be call a technical friend. The action might be to roll back whatever was patched. All of these are viable ways to get around what happened and get back to a point of normalcy because you're responding to the event according to the nature of the event. If you don't know anything about computers, you might see that blue screen and freak out. That's normal because you don't know enough about the blue screen to know that it might be a simple something. It might be a fluke or it might be a serious problem. You don't know enough. Since you don't know, your reaction is to panic because you don't know.
[00:07:02] In the workplace we have servers that get rebooted. That's going to cause an outage. When there's an outage, it's a planned outage because we are patching the server and it must reboot as a result for the period of time for it to come back up. It's not going to respond to web based requests. If we have customers trying to hit the web, they're not going to be able to use the service. When they're not able to use the service, they may call in a ticket saying something's wrong. Something is temporarily wrong, but it's not a large issue. Normally what you do is since you know that this is going to happen as a developer, you put up a message on the web that says, we're not able to process your request right now, please try back in a few minutes, something friendly that lets them know it's likely a temporary blip and just try again. You don't need to set off Klaxons, you don't need to call a bunch of tech people, you don't need to raise the red flag to management, you don't need to do anything but let the thing do its job and come back up naturally. That's not what people in the workplace do, and that's the frustrating point. What people in the workspace do is they freak out. Every time that something has happened, they freak out and they think that they have to set up all sorts of technology monitoring and things to be aware, be alerted the moment that something's not working.
[00:08:19] That's fine, to be aware, something's not working. My beef is around how they react to that knowledge. Everybody wants to freak out when they get those emails, so I don't want them to have those emails because when you freak out, you're wasting everybody's time. Now, I get paid for it, but ethically, morally, it's a waste of time. And then the worst case scenario, which actually happened to my client, is they'll call somebody who is not qualified to touch any of it because they're freaking out. They can't reach the primary person. Maybe that person actually is trying to get some freaking sleep, and so they'll call somebody who's not qualified to try to see what they can do, and that person ends up either deleting information or causing some problem and making it worse. But why? It's not that person's fault. If you task somebody who's not qualified to do the work, you are increasing the risk. You're increasing the risk because you are panicking and you're overreacting instead of to understand the nature of the event. Because the event in question, where that person was called in, was actually a very low key, low risk, benign issue that just required patience. Let's wait for the person to get online and have them take a look at it and get back up to steady state. It's not a major big deal. The end client is not freaking out. You're the only one panicking. But you shouldn't be panicking because it's not a large issue, but because you don't understand the event types. You're freaking because of anything that this email is telling you. And you called the ill qualified person and then you got mad at that person. When it's not their fault, it's your fault because you're overreacting. So I got a message.
[00:09:58] They want to do all this excessive alerting and alerting that I've been working to avoid. My site is stable. I've had five situations in the span of the year. So in 365 days, there's five times there's been any sort of an incident. And in all five cases, it was somebody else that broke my stuff. Mine never has gone down. Mine is stable, mine is solid, rock solid. But because this person's getting pressure from up above them, no, you should just put alerts on everything and monitor everything.
[00:10:28] And I'm telling them we have five different tiers of alerting. There are groups that get thousands of emails and they don't pay attention to them because there's too many emails, because it's just white noise. You're just doing Bueller. Right. That's a waste of time. You don't need to do that. You need to understand the events and the event types and then take action accordingly. In my situation, if something does happen, we just need to know that you made a request and based on the nature of the response, it's not what you needed. So I can take action. It's simple. I just need to know that you made a request and something failed. I need to know when you made the request. That's critical information. So put a little hook in front of it. Test this first. If that works, go ahead and make your call and I know it's going to work. If this first one gives you a negative response, which I built into it, I know that something up above me is broken. Tell me about it. Tell the filer, hey, we'll get back to you in a few minutes. If it's something above me, I've sent a ticket to somebody else to have them fix it. But at least we know and the filer can be alerted. Just try back in a few minutes and we'll have it sorted. Now we don't need to freak out. We're aware of the problem. It's sent to the person who can do something about it. We'll work to get it resolved. The customer tries back in a couple of minutes and we're good to go. That's it. If it goes past a couple of minutes and it's an extended situation, then we can work to escalate if needed. Say it's a Sunday and I'm nowhere available. That's fine. But we're reacting simply because there's a time when I don't get the response I expect. My system's not down. It's just not giving you the response you expect. That requires triage. We need to know why that's not happening. We need to investigate it to make sure we understand this is what's really happening, which in almost every situation is somebody up above me that's broke it. Okay, let's find out which of these seven different areas broke something. I'll reach out to them. I'll work with them to figure out what they need to do to get back on track with an urgent ticket. Once it's back on track, I'll let everybody know to try your request again, and we're good. Normal. Because I don't need to freak. There's nothing in the state, you know, if there's something like network, I can't control that. I'm not in the network team, right?
[00:12:36] But unfortunately, I'm dealing with people who are used to just freaking out because everything has been crashing and burning. Not my side, but everything else. And then because I'm a dependency, it causes them to freak. Because I'm like the 2%. Everything else is the 98%, and that's where all the chaos happens. But they have to fight that 2% when the 2% is not the root of the problem. The root of the problem is everything else. And they don't understand. So they throw shinies at every single thing, which causes excessive, unnecessary traffic, unnecessary use, unnecessary memory, unnecessary resource utilization, which then causes instability, which exacerbates the problem. And then people freak out like crazy when they don't need to. Because a lot of times you cause this because you put a burden on your servers that you didn't need to because the issue only happened five times out of 365. Five days. So it's being smart about when you need to act and when you need to react and not just freak out. Reminds me back in the old days, right? If you're a parent and you have your kid and your kid coughs, are you freaking out and taking your kid to the doctor simply because they coughed? Probably not. You're probably getting some cough medication. Tell them to take that, see if they're okay. You might check their throat, but you're not freaking taking them to the hospital because they sneeze or take them to the hospital because they cough. Or I taken to the hospital simply because they skinned their knee. You know that you certain things don't require an overreaction of you. And as a parent, you're smart enough to accept that. Number one, it's expensive to do this, but two, you can probably care for it yourself. You just need to be aware that something happened and what to do when these routine things happen and you deal with those. If there's something more serious, you'll know it. You'll hopefully be doing those pre checks with your medical provider to where they can anticipate certain more serious issues and then create a plan of attack to deal with those before they become larger issues like, say, tonsillitis or something. Now that was the rant, and it was hopefully helpful in understanding how idiotic the workplace is. Because all companies do it. It's not just one, they all do it. Everybody's a freak out. Overreaction because they don't understand event management, they don't understand events, they don't understand how to respond to events, they don't understand triage, they don't understand planning, they don't understand testing. And because of this, if there's any sort of instability, they don't know what to do about it. When it's actually very simple. I've been doing this a long time. Some of the people I'm working with have been doing it, in some cases twice as long as I have. But they've never had that awareness, that blinding flash of light to say things can be simpler than what we're doing, and we're creating the very overhead that we're trying to prevent because we're adding a bunch of garbage. That's not solving the problem. And I wanted to break that down because some people work in places where they can resonate with what I'm describing. The incessant freak out over nothing. That is what causes people to quit jobs and go to a different company because they're seeking a place where it is laid back. Not that you're nothing pressed to work hard, simply that we're not freaking out over stupid stuff, that we're not creating undue stress, that we're not triggering on call when we don't need it, and all this stupidity. And for the full time workers, because this isn't me, but for the full time workers, you're not paid for that extra time and burden that they put on you. See, if you were paid for that extra time, it probably wouldn't. That they probably wouldn't do it. If they knew they could not abuse you, they probably wouldn't do it. They'd say, okay, let's figure out a way not to do that. We know the game, it's all a scam. Speaking of, I, as a business owner, I have to file taxes a very specific way.
[00:16:18] Come to find out, I wanted to file it a very specific way because of deductions I get notified from the state, hey, we think that you should file it like that. And if you follow like that, you shouldn't report any income. Well that sounds good. Here's the problem with it. If I file that way, it basically says that every bit of money that the business makes is treated as personal income, which isn't the case. There is business income, there's business use income. There's things I pay for as a business that should be separate and distinct from the individual. So the state is in a sense trying to put its foot on and say, we want you to go this way, transpersonal, and then we don't want this information over there. But it creates a trap for you on the federal side. Why am I mentioning this here? We're getting close to tax season across the board. Part of the problem, part of the negative of running your own business is the tax side because you have to balance the feds and the state. And I would argue that the feds are a lot easier to deal with than whichever state, it doesn't matter what state, they all are jacked up, but I would argue the feds are easier to deal with than the state. The state, they sent me probably seven different pieces of mail. I'm talking physical mail back to back to back to back within the span of two weeks, about the same information over and over again. They don't provide a conduit to be able to work with them directly. And when you go to their online site, they want you to do that id dot me garbage or login dot gov garbage where you got to scan an id. And I'm not doing this crap because all I need to do is pay whatever the, you know, the payroll tax is and I will just send them a check and be done with it. To do. They gave me a coupon. They don't give you an envelope with it. Okay, well I'm not paying a stamp to pay you and I'm not doing your online because you're doing this login dot whatever garbage. When they don't need it, all they need is you. Come here, what's the amount you're paying, what's the payment method? And here you go. And they don't do that. So I said, I'm going to send you a check. So I have my bank send them a check. They still sent me this, but I think it's like a week old or something. But then they sent me this other letter talking about the way it's filing, and they're just. They're nagging. It's annoying. I haven't heard the feds since, which is what I want. I don't want to hear from you. Okay, let me do business. Come the end of the year or the beginning of the new, I'll get it done. It's not a problem. I'll sit down and just knock it out. But quit nagging me throughout the year to the point I'm regretting even making it aware in the place that I'm at. The reason I did it is because I had to set up payroll. Because under federal, you are required, even if you're just one entity, one person, you're required to do payroll when you file. Because what they want is the Social Security tax, which, of course, is the, you know, Ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme. They want the Social Security taxes. That's all they really care about. So they want to make sure there's a w two issued for everybody, even if you're the owner of. Well, I already did the payroll for the year, but I still have to account to the IR's. So then the state is like, okay, well, you need to send us a copy of your tax filing. I'm not filing it on a quarterly basis because that's stupid. I would rather file it annually because it makes it easier to manage it for the fiscal. So then the state is just like, well, we need this. Unless you give us this, we can't do this. And I'm not ready to do it yet. The feds have left me alone. The feds have a different thing that they want, but that's related on the personal side, not the business side. On the business side, they've largely left me alone because I haven't filed the first and it's called the 1120. I haven't filed it yet. Once I file it, then I'll have the docs need it for the state. But the state won't leave me alone until I do this over here. So I'm breaking that down because the one negative of being a business owner running your own business has got to be the tax situation. Because although, yes, you can deduct everything under the sun, it's not the feds, it's the states. Whichever state, they're just a nightmare to deal with almost everywhere I remember California was a nightmare, Oregon was a nightmare, Washington was a nightmare, Nevada was a nightmare. They all a nightmare. I don't know what that's all about, but they're a nightmare. And I don't like dealing with them. That's the only thing I don't like is why can't you leave me alone? Let me do business. I'll file when I'm ready. You'll get a payment. It's not gonna be through your online, it'll be a check, but you'll get paid for the taxes I do owe. Just send me a bill and I'll make sure it's paid. And we'll do it the old school way until you open up your portal. Get rid of this id garbage because you don't need it.
[00:20:52] Now the other half, as I wrap up here, I saw, cuz I don't watch, I don't have tv, I don't cable. So I saw this ranta and it was somebody ranting about Barack Obama, something Barack Obama recently said. Apparently I didn't see it, so I'm paraphrasing, but apparently Barack Obama was ranting about the brothers. That's a quote. Apparently not supporting Kamala Harris. And he said something to the effect, again, I paraphrased, I didn't see it, but he said something to the effect of, you know, I know you don't support women. Listen, I can't imagine for people who are democrat why you hear stuff like that. And it doesn't make you instantly angry and offended at not just him but the entire party because all of them have that same track record of saying these absolute, under the tongue, insulting, in some cases flat out racist or sexist things and they expect you to just overlook it. Kamala Harris did an interview. Now I forget the guy's name, but he did that. She did. She does the interview and they're talking about her not visiting the border as the borders are. And she's like, we've been to the border. We've been to the border. And the guy's like, you've not been to the border. And she's like, I haven't been to Europe. I don't get your point.
[00:22:19] She's playing dumb. Like she doesn't understand that when you use the word we, it implies you as well as others. That's the definition of we. And yet she's playing dumb and she's expecting you not to pick up on these things. Barack Obama telling black men that we should support Kamala Harris basically because she's black. That's essentially what he's saying. It has nothing to do with her competency or lack thereof. It has nothing to do with the policies that have failed over four years. It has nothing to do with the fact that african american, black Americans have been suffering at a greater pace than every other race right now. It has nothing to do with the border being out of control, which it is. It has nothing to do with the whole venezuelan gang situation. It has nothing to do with all the smoke where the hunter Biden situation just gets suppressed and shoved off the side, but they can't get enough of going after Donald Trump for stuff that happened 30 years ago.
[00:23:17] I don't understand people that still would support Barack Obama when he's essentially telling you to be a racist, because that's essentially what he's doing. He's essentially telling you you should be supporting this person because they're black. Joe Biden, when he was campaigning against Donald Trump, Joe Biden said to charlemagne the guy to his face, if you don't vote for me, then you ain't black. So now you got Barack Obama saying you should be voting for somebody because they're black. And shame on you. You got Joe Biden saying, I don't. You know, you don't vote for him, you ain't black. Kamala Harris is using the female card. At what point do you listen to this narrative and say that is the wrong messaging? If all you can fall on is that you will blame me for not supporting this race and that's your motivating reason. It's not that you can't break down these specific successes that she's had. You can't describe to me how she has contributed in a positive way. You can't focus on her achievements. So you fall back to the racial situation. That's what you do. You fall back to gender. That's what you do. That's all they have now. And that's offensive no matter what you side with in terms of ethics. It's offensive that somebody is telling you to vote for somebody and chastising you because you don't vote for somebody because of their gender.
[00:24:53] Listen, if you're a female and you hear somebody say you should be offended, hearing somebody say that the primary reason somebody should even support you, vote for you back you, hire you, whatever, is because you're a girl.
[00:25:11] Listen, that, that entitlement, that right there, that's demeaning to you. That's lesson one. That's demeaning to you. That is putting you down. That's telling you you ain't worth shit other than you being a girl because that's what he effectively is doing.
[00:25:33] He's saying black men usually be voting for her because she's black, effectively. And, well, maybe it's because she's a female that hear what he's saying and understand what he's implying. He's implying she ain't worth shit about other than that she's female. And that should offend if you're a female, that should offend you. To hear people say that, that they cannot break down true achievements and accomplishments. All they can bank on is that it's a female. I said it. They want first woman president. They want first black, you know, black president, first woman presidents. What they want. That's all they focus on. So you'll get four more years of Joe Biden and Biden was four years of Obama. If that's what you want, then support that. I'm just calling it out. When you have somebody who says you should vote for this person because they're black or vote for this person because they're female, that should offend you. I don't care who you are. Kamala Harris talking about all the stuff she's going to do, quote, for black men, who cares about white men, who cares about Asians, who cares about Mexicans, who cares about Hmong, who care about anybody else? Black men, that's her target because that's all she can bank on. She can't bank on anything else.
[00:26:51] That whole segment, that whole party, that's been the line that they draw. They can only fall back on race and gender. That's all they can do. They cannot do anything else for the american people because the american people has nothing to do with ratio. And I saw people say, we don't want to hear colorblind. Cool.
[00:27:15] But when you focus on color, it makes you just as colorblind as everything else because you're not paying attention to the fact that there's multiple colors of the spectrum. You're not caring that America is multiple different races. I'm not suggesting that certain races are not being disenfranchised over other races. I'm suggesting that regardless of the fact that that's happening, everybody has the same problem, which is the economy. The economy, money doesn't care what your race is. The access to it might skew towards certain races. That's fine. But that has nothing to do with the fact that the economy affects us all. So I'm talking at the highest level. I'm talking when we ship money overseas instead of to our people. When we give, quote, stimmies as a little pittance during the pandemic, when we spend boatloads of cash on gender surgeries and things that are not benefiting of the majority, as in everybody at the same time, equally. That's when we get into this tug of war that we currently are in, largely pushed by Obama, by the way, where we talk. Kamala even went on an interview talking about reparations. Yeah, it's worth investigating. Why? For what? None of the people alive were in that situation. What reparation for what? What were, what did they suffer under? What did they suffer under? Roland Martin? Show me your foot. Yeah, because what did you suffer under? What chains did you wear? What boat did you get shipped on? Who did you serve? Who were you serving where you were not paid and you could barely bathe and you were beaten. Who were you almost lynched by? Let's break it down. Can you find anybody who has actually suffered to where they're warranting all this? And then all that's doing is trying to appeal to who? Black Americans who don't know any damn better. And they're the low middle class to where they're desperate for that money.
[00:29:08] That's the way they work. They create that desperation, they create that dependency because they want to control. Once they have the control, they don't let it go. And it becomes worse and worse over time, which is why they try to buy your votes, which is why they lie to you to get you to come out and vote for them. And they say what you want to hear and then don't do the right thing when they get in office. People even called out Joe Biden and said, we didn't vote you in office so you could basically jack up our wallets like this. Well, what did you expect was going to happen? You fell for the narrative when he said, if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. You fell for the mean tweets and all the other stuff was a deflection. That's a distraction. They don't want you to focus on the real issues, which is the economy, number one. First and foremost, to me, nothing else matters. Climate does not matter. Over economy. Without money, you can't solve the climate situation.
[00:30:01] So, no, that doesn't matter. No, sorry. A rush to Ev's has jacked us up.
[00:30:07] World dominance has been jacked up.
[00:30:10] The economy is number one, though. All the rest of it really is important. The economy is number one on the list. I'm sorry. It always will be. And there's only one side of this battle who has been talking about the economy and a damn sure ain't Kamala Harris, because he does. She doesn't understand how it works. She doesn't understand what the problem is because she sit in the ivory tower. Yet she got a guy who was a billionaire and he seems to understand what to say the right way. Just was working at fucking McDonald's drive through.
[00:30:36] It doesn't matter that it was staged. That's all. People focus on stage. Of course it's staged. It doesn't fucking matter. The point is, he was, this is a guy who's a billionaire. He's willing to go in there and be taught how to do the frickin fries and work the drive through and talk to people. Would Kamala do that? No. And you would say, well, what does it matter?
[00:30:57] It matters because if you have somebody who's willing to lower themselves to that type of a job and actually see what it takes and willing to shut up and listen and learn to do that work that some of you know is not that easy, by the way. And Kamala Harris is sitting over here talking about, she doesn't need to go to the border. She doesn't need to do this. She doesn't need to do that. I don't need to do all that stuff just like Pelosi does. Then they can't understand your plight, can they? They can't understand how hard it is to do these jobs. They can't understand why there should be an increase in, you know, the cost of living. They can't understand why they should make these changes. They can't understand why it's a pain for people because they've not gone in there and done the work. They've not been willing to roll up the sleeves and actually feel that burnt. I. So this is not a plea for you to vote one way or the other. Who you vote for is who you vote for. I'm just calling out this dude over here in Barack Obama and this lady over here in Kamala Harris. I would be blatantly offended if I, you know, if I were you, hearing them say these things and seriously questioning your support of either one of them because they're basically belittling you is what they're doing. They're telling you you ain't worth anything except your gender. Why is that acceptable? I don't personally think it is. I would rather treat people as more than just their gender, as more than just the color of their skin. But that's the narrative that they promote and they continue to promote it. Barack Obama, we're in 2024 and he's still talking about voting for people because of their being black. He's been doing that for years. When do we stop pushing that? He is the one stoking negative race relations because he keeps bringing that up instead of talking really about the unity that Biden talked about doing when he got in office. There's no unity. It's worse than what it was because Biden was nothing more than the front for Barack Obama pulling the strings in the back. We knew what that was. Kamala Harris was feckless is the word. Inept. She didn't do anything to make it any better. So here we are once again. I'm just saying as a statement, you should be offended at the things that the very narrative they're pushing should offend you because they're trying to stoke your negative impressions of the other races. They're promoting the racism that they say they denounce in public, but they're really promoting it in private because they want that, because that's how they get votes, is to make you feel like the other side is the enemy. There is no enemy other than the fact that everybody else is broke, than those people who are banking six figures. So we can continue to let them bank six figures. We can continue to let them trigger you with these racial blaming statements. We can continue to allow them to hide the real truth and send you little pittances. You can still beg for those scraps. I'm not, I won't do it because it's the wrong answer. So I don't care who says about mean tweets and whatever else. I care about the economy. Whoever talks about the economy gets my vote. If Kamala gets a clue and understands what the priority is, she would get the vote. She hasn't shown me that she gets, she straight said I wouldn't change anything from Joe Biden. Well, then she can't get my vote because we know we were damaged under Joe Biden. It doesn't make any sense. That's all going forward.
[00:34:18] I, you know, we're getting close to this election now, and now it's starting to get, the rubber is going to meet the road on this business. We got to really see how it's, you know, if it's going to be a blowout, it's going to be close. If it's close, which I suspect it will be because the current polling says that women are still favoring Kamala because there's women out there that just can't look over the mean tweets and the, you know, the childish statements and the way he acts. They can't overlook it no matter what. They're not going to focus on the real issues. And so those, those are the women, by the way, they're, you know, the, when they called out the childless cat ladies or whatever, that's why he made that statement. Because a lot of those women, they don't, they can't keep a man. They don't want to keep a man. They're fine with their cats in their home by themselves. They don't want kids because they don't want a guy. That's what it is. Okay. What's the problem? If that's what you want to be, be that. Be proud to be that. Some women, though, say, we want to have kids and we want to have the right to have kids and we want to have the right to raise our kids and we want to have the money to be able to do it. We want to be able to find a decent guy and do all this nice stuff and the white picket fence and the dog and all the stuff, because that's what we were taught, the american dream. Some people still want it. Some people don't understand that they lost it and they may not get it back at this four more years of Joe Biden, I can tell you that much.
