  • And then, of course, as you as you rightfully point out.

  • We now have the potential for a very large infrastructure package.

  • There's no fighting this.

  • We just have to start an infrastructure company and surrender to the government.

  • Windfall.

  • He's a good night's sleep.

  • Now.

  • We know why he couldn't hack it at Goldman and had to become governor.

  • Uh, you know, after college, I became a Goldman Sachs analyst, and I never left my desk.
