"That kind of thing, you know, some kind of topsy turvy change in power. Yeah. I mean, and this is a 170 years cycle approximately when Uranus and Neptune can join. And I've followed that in particular with respect to the history of astrology because I noticed how that one in 1992 and 1993 coincided with the founding of project hindsight and the movement to revive ancient astrology through the translation of a bunch of texts and then to reunite it and synthesize it with modern and contemporary astrology, which is what's happened over the past 30 years, but that it I sort of noticed that it happened so close to that conjunction in 92 93. And so I went back in history and I noticed that that kept happening over and over again about every 170 years, every time Uranus and Neptune met up as there would be this sort of revival of older forms of astrology and they would be merged with whatever the prevailing astrological paradigm was at the time in order to create a new synthesis and then that synthesis would last basically for the next hundred or a 170 years until the next conjunction. I remember that work of yours. It was a work that you were, you know, when I first met you in 2005, you were just sort of conjuring that or yeah, it just conjured that that timeline. Yeah, no, that's an excellent point. So yeah, the conjunctions do have these powerful relationships to the astrology community. But the square between the two planets. Yeah, you better believe it. They have to do with the sort of nations rising and falling and given that that conjunction in the early 90s coincided with the new world that we got. Not only the collapse of the Soviet Union, but South Africa, ditching apartheid and renewing itself as a new republic. All these things coming up at the time. And when we get to this square, that sort of all comes up for review. And yeah, sort of different nations or different regimes within these nations will be changeovers. Yeah, so because of that coinciding so closely with the development of the Internet with the proliferation of personal computers and different things like that, I can't help but think it's connected with that somehow. Let me share the archetypal explorer again so here it is and this is what we're talking about this is Uranus Neptune square, which really centers on the late 2030s and early 2040s, like a 2037 through 2042, 2043 basically. And that's really the major outer planet alignment that's happening in that time frame. And so it's so striking that it's stands out so strongly right there. But whatever the next stage and the development is of what was started in the early 1990s with the beginnings of the Internet, like this is the next important turning point in that where it sort of takes it to whatever the next level is in terms of the tension between on the one hand, we have Uranus and technology and innovation and on the other hand we have Neptune and the breaking down of boundaries and that archetype or that symbolism became very clear with the Internet where you have exactly that. Whereas suddenly you have anybody with a computer can access information from anywhere on the world just with a few sort of typing on a keyboard or something like that, like the level or the extent to which that brought down many of the barriers around the world is immeasurable or as immense and fits that symbolism very well. So it's like we have somehow a return of that of technology removing barriers in some ways between people as a major theme during that time frame. And that's one of the ones that I'm looking at the most is having potentially some of the most significant impact just because it's the biggest outer planet transit of the next couple of decades while Pluto is still going to be an Aquarius. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And it will coincide with the next Jupiter Saturn conjunction in 2040 as well. It'll be you'll have Uranus square Neptune while there's a Jupiter Saturn conjunction. So that will make it if you go to about October of 2040. Yeah, there you are. I think October 31st is the actual Jupiter Saturn conjunction, but you can see that Uranus and Neptune are have their ongoing square. And there's a Jupiter Saturn conjunction at the same time. So yeah, yeah, so you're in a square Neptune. It's still very close. You're going to see that 7 Leo and Neptune is 5. But there are more squares coming up in 2041 and 2042. So or 2041, at least. Yeah, that's one of the things that was tricky paying attention to not just the degree base, but the sign based aspects is that it almost starts becoming close and do we get one of the first squares while they're still in criminal science? No, just after. Oh, no wait, there is one. Sorry. No, it is. Go to January 31st, 2040. Or even October 2nd, 2039. So here's October 2039. That's already after the graphics. Yeah, it's already after. So it's going to be a real question, though, is this basically is this Uranus Neptune square already. Yeah, look at how close that is. This is like a degree off by January of 2039, but Uranus is at 27 cancer in Neptune's at 27 28 Aries. So for all intents and purposes, that square, even though it's not going to go exact until the sign ingress takes place is already pretty fully in effect at this point by 23. It was like that in the 1950s as well when they were square like they went from square in cancer to Libra, you're on a cancer to Neptune and Libra and then Uranus moved into Leo as Neptune moved into Scorpio, not too far behind. So that kind of thing has happened before. Okay. So the question is just, you know, the Uranus transit through Gemini ends in 2033 and 2034 and Uranus goes into cancer, so at that point, then it's already forming a sign based square with Neptune and the build up to some of those squares begins. So to whatever extent that that's operative, I think that's really important because that comes on the tail end of all of the advancement, the technological advancement that takes place with

"Remotely similar amounts of power to oil, natural gas, and fossil fuel resources that generally power electrical grids. When it comes to efficiency, we spent an enormous amount of money globally on solar tech from 2014, which is when the solar boom started until about 2020, 1.5% of total electricity now comes from solar. 1.5% globally comes from solar. And one of the, they're a bunch of problems with things like solar and wind. Some of them are dispatchable. It turns out that the sun shines where it shines and the wind blows where the wind blows, but that doesn't mean that you necessarily live near where the sun shines and where the wind blows. 95% of humans as zyn points out live within 50 miles of their power plant. He says green tech in its current form simply isn't able to shave more than a dozen or so percentage points off fossil fuel demand. In fact, places that have shifted over to green tech are spending four times what they normally would for power. Even places like California, which has tried to make that shift in California is a fairly welcoming place in terms of green energy. It has good green resources. Even California is paying three times what it normally would for power, it would be paying for except that it's importing power from other states and then pretending that it's not. In the same way that Europe was pretending that it was engaged in a green revolution and then just importing oil and natural gas from Russia. Perhaps the biggest problem with the green tech movement is that a lot of the green tech is not storable. See, here's the thing. Fuel like oil, natural gas, coal. What these are are physical energy, right? These are energy and physical form, which means they are transportable. It means they are movable. It means that they don't just dissipate immediately. That is not true for solar and wind. How do you store the energy from the solar or the wind? It exists in time. So people have talked about what we need battery power. Well, there's only one problem. You ain't got nothing remotely like the kind of batteries. That would be necessary to store the energy that you are talking about. Zihan says, assuming that the technological improvements in the world of batteries that have unfolded since 1990 continue into 2026, the cost of a four hour lithium grid storage system will be about 250 bucks per megawatt hour of capacity. 6 times that of the standard combined cycle natural gas plant, which is currently the most common electricity generating asset in the United States. Despite all of the talk about solar and wind in the state of California, for example, the amount of total storage power storage in the state of California, right now is one minute of power. One minute of power, which is why, when you look at states like Texas, and there's big freeze, the sources of energy that fail are the renewables. The rubles fail. All the other energy, the natural gas and all the rest of that. If there are failures, it's because like a pipe cracked, but the usual answer is you have to ramp up the natural gas and the oil in order to compensate for the failure of the renewables. So ziya and concludes, green tech and its current form simply isn't mature enough or cheap enough to move the needle for most peoples in most locations. It's largely limited to developed countries with rich capital supplies who just coincidentally happen to have large population centers fairly close to sunny or windy locations. Nearly all other locations globally will remain dependent upon more traditional fuels for the vast majority of their energy needs. And so what exactly is going to happen to all of those other countries? Well, as it turns out, if they can't get a hold of oil, it's going to get worse in terms of the environment, not better. They're going to turn to coal, or they're going to turn to lignite. And lignite is a barely qualifies as coal fuel that is typically one 5th water by weight. And as by far the least efficient and dirty is fuel and used today, Germany today already uses lignite, as its primary power input fuel, because greentech has failed. And yet the Germans, for environmental reasons, have shut down their other power generation options like nuclear and natural gas. And instead they are using the far dirtier lignite. This is why I need to hear people like John Kerry babbel about green energy when you hear Joe Biden talk about. A billion dollars will shift all the power. No, you moron. We're going to be using oil and natural gas for a very, very long time to come. And when you disincentivize, the creation of oil refineries, for example, which takes sometimes ten years to come online. All you are doing is making energy more expensive. And by the way, you're not helping the environment because people are going to be using other cheaper and dirtier forms of energy in substitute. Which is the reason why, for all the happy talk about environmentalism, you know who actually is generating the most emissions right now. China, of course. According to The Washington Post, despite the west enormous head star, China is projected to have emitted more total carbon dioxide than all of Europe by 2039. And more than the United States by 2050. We don't mean that they're the leading emitter now. They are already leading emitter. We mean that historically speaking, by 2050, they will have emitted more in terms of carbon emissions than the entire history of the United States in terms of carbon emissions at that point. Because it turns out developing countries, they don't care very much about John Kerry's wins. They just want to make sure that they're people don't starve. And the world of reality is a difficult reality for politicians. And if the world of reality can also be a difficult reality for you, if you don't take care to actually prep, which is one reason why I recommend Jace medical. So I got emergency medications from Jace medical because during the pandemic, it turns out that pretty much everything broke. All of the supply chains broke. If you're living in China, they basically welded you into your apartment. So you couldn't get the medications you need. That sort of stuff actually, as we now know, does happen, and you need the medications that you need when you need those medications. Why not be prepared? Chase case is a pack of 5 different antibiotics you can use to treat a host of bacterial illnesses in an emergency.

So part of the Chinese reopening trade helping to boost Chinese stocks have also had a report from Goldman Sachs tipping a rebounded Chinese stocks to add a counterweight to the flow of news that's been dampening appetite for equities that of course the hawkish Central Bank speaks that we got out of last week as well. Quieter days trading, of course, because the president's day in the U.S. means there's no trading on Wall Street in markets there today. You're a stock 50 features are 3000 to 1% higher though looking ahead towards the start of the European open oil prices also gaining WTI and brand both up by about 7 tenths of 1% Brent crude trading at $83 and 63 pence at a barrel that's a hopes of Chinese demand rebounds picking up pace following the undercover zero that's outweighing some of the hawkish signals beginning from central banks. That's what's moving in oil prices as well. Interesting to see that European natural gas prices just back up over €50 a megawatt hour on the Dutch TTF benchmark that was after we saw it dip to its lowest level in 17 months on Friday, but gas prices of course still much, much lower than they had been at the peak back in August of last year.

Steven, thank you so much. Now the prime minister Rishi sunak says that NATO should finalise a security guarantee for Ukraine in the coming months, as the country approaches a year since the Russian invasion started. He was seeking to portray the UK as leading the response to Russia's invasion in his remarks on a panel with Bloomberg's Europe correspondent Maria todayo, Maria good morning. Thank you so much for being with us. What did you take away from that discussion long discussion with the prime minister ishi sunak? Yes, and look, a number of things. The UK prime minister was at the Munich security conference and he also had a big delegation which for some of the audience that I spoke to after it was almost perceived as the Brits are back on a big way and the warring Ukraine has almost changed the calculus of relationships between the two perhaps continental powers. In terms of the details that he told the Munich security conference. On the one hand, there is the usual UK provider in this war. The Ukrainians have to win Russia has to lose Vladimir Putin has to be defeated and then another new perhaps element that he brought up is this idea that NATO membership is pretty clear that it's not going to happen while the war is ongoing because I would bring in NATO and Russian direct conflict and nobody wants that, but after that, or in between there needs to be a serious conversation about security guarantees for Ukraine. He told me there is a patron now of aggression of Russia, a fixation from Russia when it comes to Ukraine, and that's why you see escalations every four years going on. He said, you need something that will break the pattern of aggression, and that means, well, more assistance, constant assistance, a promise of support of this happens again, but something that would act as a circuit breeder brigade immediately after NATO said that they endorsed the idea and that in fact the major secretary general would welcome the other allies take on that position to have security guarantees from Ukraine to make sure this doesn't happen. Again, repeat and this idea that this is not a one off. It is almost a permanent fixation that Russia has with Ukraine and this repeats itself in time over and over again unless there's clear deterrence going forward. Maria, how much of what you heard from her she's saying was being echoed by other participants that you heard at the conference from other NATO members, how unified is the position on this? Look, I think they're very clear in the message of stand with Ukraine, we have to continue supporting the Ukrainian government, the Ukrainian troops, and this idea that Russia is waging on an imperialistic war on Ukraine again, going back with this fixation with Ukraine. Wasn't clear to me and I spoke to rich sunak. I listened to our shots, I was German in my clone, the Baltics, Finland, the Polish, two is how you get there. I think the timeline isn't clear. There is a sense of the next few weeks will be crucial, but are we in for a long walk and this get resolved this year that's unclear and then also when you talk about the definition of victory for Ukraine, I think it's very hard to pinpoint that two races will tell you Russia has to be defeated when you look at the Polish president. He says Russia has to be deprived completely from ever attacking anyone in the future when you look at M and M yesterday he did see. Yes, defeat Russia, but you can't crush Russia because Russia, the geography is what it is. It will always be a part of Europe and unless you get to some stable relationship in the future that you're not going to get security guarantees for the entire continent. And again, it reflects a fear to that. If you crush Russia, what happens after, it may be worse than what you have now with Vladimir Putin. Yeah, absolutely. Maria, thank you so much for your time. Thank you for the interview with the UK prime minister, just the latest Vladimir zelensky, saying that he asked to directly that China not support Russia's war and of course Bloomberg TV will be speaking to the Polish minister Anna Moscow a little bit later on this morning 8 30 a.m.. Well, let's turn back to Marshall's political here in the UK. We are expecting now in the coming days, the UK to announce a new deal with the EU on trading rules from Northern Ireland, our UK correspondent Lizzie Burton is here with the latest. Lizzie, what do we know about where we are on this journey? Of course this was an issue that Rishi sunak covered at the Munich security conference with Maria there. We're expecting an announcement as soon as this week, there's been a diplomatic flurry in the recent days, so you like meeting parties in Northern Ireland, meeting European Commission president Ursula von der leyen really to lay the groundwork for a deal and get the choreography right. You've had some UK newspapers reporting that the announcement would be today, but actually that's likely to be pushed back by at least a day because sunac still engaging with both Brussels and Belfast. He had the telegraph reporting late last night that he'd been forced to pause his deal because of a backlash from senior Tories and unionists and really their accusing him of trying to bound the cabinet and the wider Tory party into a deal and it's epitomized by the intervention of the former prime minister Boris Johnson, essentially via a source telling sunac that he needs to take a more confrontational approach. So yeah, I suppose to say in Duncan Smith, another of those veteran voices, speaking over the weekend too, writing anyway, can sudak

Andrew grant is with Bloomberg new energy finance. And we're talking about a peak in the number of vehicles on the road or in the parking lots of the passenger vehicle fleet. And we see that just a few years later in 2039. One of the key changes is urbanization and the way in which people think about car ownership. So in our outlook, we have an increased level of shared vehicles such as ride hailing vehicles, taxis and fleet based cost sharing vehicles and the introduction of robotaxis that are kind of easing into that privately owned passenger vehicle fleet. On top of that, some countries are seeing a drop in the driving age population. But despite the outlook, the vehicle fleet around the world is seen growing for at least another decade.

You're listening to Bloomberg businessweek with Carol messer and Bloomberg quick takes Tim Steve from Bloomberg radio. Earlier we heard about Europe's worsening climate situation and America's hopes for an expedited transition to clean energy. A large part of that effort will come from the auto industry. A recent report from the Bloomberg NES says we are just 14 years away from peak car when an estimated one and a half billion passenger vehicles globally are expected on the road by 2039. Well, before we get there, buyers, you know this, they're still looking at months, perhaps even years worth of inflation and supply chain snarls that could hinder them from getting the cars they want and when they want them. That's where car parts dot com comes in. Bloomberg news senior markets reporter, Katie and I asked CEO David begnaud how his company can help. Car parts dot com were direct to consumer, pure play online player of auto parts and accessories. We've been in business for 25 years. And what makes us very unique is that we have a vertically integrated supply chain. So we buy our own parts from globally, a combination of collision parts and replacement parts, and then we sell them direct to consumer via our own distribution channel. So we're in a very good spot to see what's going on in the auto world and the auto parts industry. The auto industry is just gigantic. You guys know that. You cover it all the time. Auto parts is $300 billion market. And believe it or not, the average age of a car on the road is 12.2 years. So the average American drives an older car. And in order to keep that car going and running longer, they rely on retailers like us to buy quality parts of competitive prices. David, during the last couple of years, we heard so much about how the actual automakers were struggling to source the chips they need and other parts. I'm curious how you guys fared with all the supply chain disruptions we've had. I can only imagine it must have been a giant headache. Was it tough to source the parts you needed in the last few years? I mean, supply chain was basically top of mind for the last two years, right? Before inflation and Ukraine and everything else, we were very aggressive early on in the pandemic in ramping up inventory buys. We build capabilities in-house. So we increased the quantities of our buy. We increased our safety stock requirements. We opened more distribution centers just to carry more inventory. What we found was it took longer, and it was more complicated to get the parts. So in order to keep going and to keep growing, we just had to carry more inventory. And so if you look at it from a financial investor perspective, we basically had to sacrifice inventory turns just to make sure that we had the parts in stock. And of course the other big shock this year is inflation and I'm wondering how that plays into your business. I mean, does it sort of cause this effect where consumers are maybe more willing to try to work on their own car and find those parts on your siders is how's the price problems we've seen this year sort of translating into your everyday business? Yeah, absolutely. And historically, auto parts and auto repair in general is pretty inflation resistant. If you need a car, if you're a school teacher or a nurse, and you need your cart to get to work, you're going to have to do what you need to do to keep it going. So obviously for every retailer and for all the consumers out there, inflation is hitting everyone. And we're not immune, what we have to do is really kind of make sure that we found efficiencies in the supply chain to be able to pass on our savings of that direct to consumer factory to consumer to the consumer. Having said that, you're absolutely right. In terms of inflation, what it does is that if historically, you will do it for me and needed a friend or a mechanic to do the repair. Chances are you're going to go on YouTube or on Google and figure out a way to source the parts and do it cheaper. All my Friends are on YouTube these days trying to figure out how to fix their car. It's amazing. I had to go on YouTube to find out how to change the tire in my Jeep Cherokee. I'm not too embarrassed to admit. YouTube is creating a lot of mechanics I have a feeling, David. I'm sure you saved a lot of money, but you're absolutely right. YouTube is creating a lot of mechanics. And ultimately, if you want to do the labor yourself and you could find that ten or 15 minute video, companies like us were a good alternative, because you can get the parts for 50% cheaper than in the store. You said you built up inventory. Does that mean you're going to be working down inventory, maybe not demanding or buying so much from your suppliers over the next few months? That is a great question. And the answer is yes. We're seeing some signs of easing up in the supply chain. So as the lead time start compressing, we have to carry less safety stock or buffer inventory. And what you're going to see from us and I'm assuming other companies out there is converting that inventory back to cash and seeing some working capital improvements. Okay, speaking of working capital and I'm just reading off of your press release. You guys have entered into an amended and restated $75 million credit facility. The ability to increase a 150 million are you looking to get hold of whatever cash you get because you're concerned about maybe what the environment might be and I don't know a few months it might be a tougher environment. Yeah, I think there's definitely a lot of signs that the economic environment is getting tougher. Having said that, we're growing more profitable. We have positive unit economics on every transaction. We have no debt. And we're well funded and well capitalized. So that line of credit is just a safety net that we basically don't need.

I'm not too embarrassed to admit. YouTube is creating a lot of mechanics I have a feeling, David. I'm sure you saved a lot of money, but you're absolutely right. YouTube is creating a lot of mechanics. And ultimately, if you want to do the labor yourself and you could find that ten or 15 minute video, companies like us were a good alternative because you can get the parts for 50% cheaper than in the store. You said you built up inventory. Does that mean you're going to be working down inventory, maybe not demanding or buying so much from your suppliers over the next few months? That is a great question. And the answer is yes. We're seeing some signs of easing up in the supply chain. So as the lead time start compressing, we have to carry less safety stock or buffer inventory. And what you're going to see from us. And I'm assuming other companies out there is converting that inventory back to cash and seeing some working capital improvements. Okay, speaking of working capital, and I'm just reading off of your press release. You guys have entered into an amended and restated $75 million credit facility. The ability to increase a 150 million are you looking to get hold of whatever cash you get because you're concerned about maybe what the environment might be and I don't know a few months it might be a tougher environment. Yeah, I think there's definitely a lot of signs that the economic environment is getting tougher, having said that we're growing more profitable. We have positive unit economics on every transaction. We have no debt. And we're well funded and well capitalized. So that line of credit is just a safety net that we basically don't need.

"But for the people who kind of want to jump on that for that, I'm not sure what you want to do. I mean, you're going to sit back and wait out the careers of Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert and then really build tour 2039 with this thing. Yeah, that's why they signed Nathaniel Hackett to that 31 year contract. Just to make sure that just to make sure that he was ready to capitalize at the end. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting. I think that the Broncos, Russell Wilson makes the Broncos a better overall team than the charger slightly, although Russell Wilson is not as good as Justin Herbert. I think both of those things can be true, right? Especially because and here's what really kind of sealed it for me is I think the Broncos not only made the best hire of the off season and Nathaniel hack it, but in a giro evere who was one of the true Fangio disciples, right? And so you basically get the same defense for like half off. You know, you don't have to keep Vic Fangio and you get a guy that's studied under him that was tight with Brandon staley, who probably should have gotten the rams defensive coordinator job after Brandon staley went to charges in the first place. So your defense stays really good. You're offense comes a long way. Plus you get Russell Wilson. I mean, this is at minimum a ten win team next year. And so you throw yourself into the mix. I mean the AFC west is going to have three playoff spots next year. I would be very surprised if they didn't have three playoff spots next year. Absolutely. And the other thing I'll say and you saw this with the rams last year, Denver's now kind of a destination. And yeah, if you offer the most money, you tend to lure free agents anyway, but this is now a place where you might be able to get some veterans who were not going to come to your place because they wanted a chance to take advantage of the end of their career and play for a Super Bowl. Von Miller sent some cryptic social media messages over the last couple of days and you kind of rolled your eyes because it's like, you're not going back to Denver to go 8 and 9. That's not going to happen, but now all of a sudden, that's a pretty good spot to land in. And maybe you do leave a little bit of money on the table. Maybe you're a little more flexible with the way you structure your deal in order to get in there. And be a part of that. It's a blue blood organization anyway. And yeah, I mean, you could, you could be the third best team in the division, but still grab that wild card spot, get into the tournament, you got a franchise quarterback and now things are getting pretty interesting. How crazy if I'm von Miller at this point, I've already made so much money. I would go to the Broncos and say, give me $500,000 in cash. Just hand it to me. And then, and then give me $2 million a sack..

"And right now, the buzzword we turn on any financial channel. You turn on any of the nightly news shows you just walk into the supermarket and you're going to detect this. We're talking about inflation. Inflation is here. We're seeing it with prices on everything essentially and the hope is that we don't have Runaway inflation like we had back in the 19 seventies, we have stagflation, which was you know, which was just, you know, unbelievable. The question we're going to pose today. Is should you believe the inflated yields on so called inflation protected bond funds and Steve? I know you've got a lot to say on this. Yeah, I do. This gets me so angry because it's really truly very unfair. Can you get an 8% return on your government bond funds? Uh, you know, only a nutty calculation can make it look like it's true. But in the end, it's still not true. Um, so there is something that mutual fund companies quote it's called an SEC. Yield. In an SEC yield is basically Hey, look, you made 7% last month. Well, multiply this by 12 and divide this out in blah, blah, blah. And so your average yield on this and Investment is going to be 678%. But people think that yield equals total return so I could see where people get very confused on it, because when they're reading something or an advisor or broker, whoever it is, is selling them on a product like that. They have a misconception. Totally. That's wow. This bond is really incredible. And I hear just from our callers all the time. They will call us until they'll call and say. Right now, My bond is doing fantastic, and I really don't know where they're getting their numbers from its right When you say s E C e o. I think we ought to define this. We're talking about the Securities and Exchange Commission. That's right, And this is a yield. War, non money market funds, and it's based on a formula that has put forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission. And that's why it's called the SEC yield. Exactly. And so what mutual fund companies do is they take that and they use it as an advertising opportunity. And people get confused that this is a total return. It's not think Do people think that because they're calling it the SEC yield that that adds some credibility, right? Absolutely exactly. Yes, you know. Hey, the SEC. It's an SC CEO. It's gotta be good. It's got to be regulated and all that right is regulated. It must be truth. Yeah, You know, it's like, um You know the fund it is. So what's it called The target? Fun? The target fun for 2039 or 2040. Right? This is it. This is wonderful. They have analyzed. Everything that I need, because I'm going to retire in 2040. So that must be true. How does the target fund compared with the WalMart funds or the right big lots fun? Do you know, right? Yeah. He was a good question. You know, in our world, we never stop to think that maybe people are thinking that the other end. That's a good point said Very good. The target. I mean, right? We're dealing with the Red Bull's eye here. That little target dog. Great, right? What? What are we dealing with? Well to clarify. We definitely have to clarify on that. We're referring to, um, a mutual fund that says you're going to retire in, say, 2025, right? So it's called a target. 2025 your target date. I guess. Retirement for the target yelled retirement, right is 2025 so a lot of people think that Well, you know, I'm going to go into a a 2030 target fund because That's what I'm going to retire. So my return is good, and they've protected my money. It has nothing to do with the store with the big red balls out front. Okay, right. It has nothing to do with that inflation again. This is real. And you know, there are some economists that are very concerned that we could be entering a prolonged period of escalating inflation. Right, So it's very, very true. It's very real as you mentioned, so investors are scrambling and you know there's a lot of different manufacturers because that's what a mutual fund company is. They manufacture an investment. And then they package it all nice and pretty, and they give this beautiful document here. Here you go. Elizabeth. Please read this. His factors. It's called a prospectus. It's only 190 pages.

That Republicans in this but bugs me and bothers me. Republicans are the victims these days, and they've been whining and complaining for days and weeks and months about how unfair Twitter is and how unfair Facebook is to them and YouTube and you got you know, Republicans to Santis isn't alone.

Um, voters that is in that When you sign up for a private social media company, you are obligated all of those fools. Republican voters don't accept that. Similarly, they don't accept that when you enter a private business such as Costco. If they ask you to wear a mask, you're obligated to do so. And so does the sentence is just playing off of that.

It turns out that the Trump administration is sort of pre empted him and said Yes, we're going to release any kinds of reserves and states were all gearing up to get more doses. Well, it turns out that there really weren't any reserves they had used just about everything that they had on their shelves. And they were holding back some doses of the vaccine so that they could be used for those needing the second shot. But it turns out that Now they're taking those needing the second shot those doses that needed for that second shot right off the assembly line. And so it's kind of a myth that there's a lot of vaccine sitting on shelves and reserve in Washington, D C. So anyhow. Well, I'm gonna give you the number 7737639278 because, uh, we we're gonna be talking to Danny Davis a bit later in the show, but right now Let's go back to phones because I like taking phone calls. Paul, who's up up next is George from Chicago. All right. Hi, George. Dick. You've been reporting the news in this town a long time, So I'm sure you remember the summer day of scandal that it's after that, actually, that was just before my dime. On. Do you know what I believe you But I'm sure you're fully acquainted with all the details and in turn out to the and, uh When Mayor Daley was compelled to hire a nonpartisan, nonpolitical man Chicago police superintendent he hired nationally renowned criminologist Serlenga W. Wilson from California and one of the things that he instituted was psychological testing. For applicants to the police department, and that prevailed until he retired and went back to California and slowly and gradually over time. Following police superintendents made that disappear. That was over 50 years ago, and the half century that occurred sent The psychological safety psychiatric community in this country has developed all kinds of ways of testing. People who have should short fuses and are Racists and tender act out violent tendencies. There's Memorize of the brain that can be taken. While people are being questioned that will indicate what kind of person they are in these situations, So I would say that You could probably even test for races in this way, and I think it's incumbent upon Every state in the federal government to research and develop testing that will effectively weed out the people who shouldn't carry a badge. Well, I agree with you that they should do that. I don't know that you can Test for racism and bigotry. I'm not buying into that argument, and the other thing is I don't know what you conduce so far has testing his concern because people have constitutional rights. And and it didn't And I don't know that you could do any kind of, uh, brain wave monitoring or electronic testing or anything akin to a polygraph or Any kind of testing that requires some physical equipment. I don't know that that's possible, and I don't know that any police department would be willing to use that and take that chance. But who knows? You talking summer Dale Summa. Dale was when you had the police burglary scandal. And daily hired. Now I know about this. I wasn't here but daily hired Orlando Wilson to conduct a search for a new superintendent, and it turns out he turned out to be the best candidate for the new superintendent. So they hired Orlando Wilson..
