The story from Khou. 37 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 5: Party all nine loan, all weekend, loan for. 38 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 4: Days, Kho. 39 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 7: You first introduced you to Kathy Lang last year when 40 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 7: she told us about how units in her town home 41 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 7: community in Tanglewood became short term rentals. She said problems 42 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 7: quickly followed, with guests committing moot acts like sex on 43 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 7: a balcony and violent acts like gunfire. A year later, 44 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 7: Houston City Council will look to regulate the short term rentals, 45 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 7: requiring register stration fees and occupancy taxes. But very disappointed 46 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 7: Yang says the regulations just aren't tough enough. 47 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 8: It might discourage some player, but with those severe ones, 48 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 8: like those ones by my neighborhood, I don't think it 49 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 8: would do much about that. 50 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 5: This nine mayre probably won't be stopped. 51 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 7: The proposal says violations of the ordinance provisions can lead 52 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 7: to fines of anywhere between one hundred to five hundred dollars. 53 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 7: Short term rental property registrations can also be revoked a 54 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 7: variety of mechanisms, like not paying the hotel occupancy tax, 55 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 7: if the property has two or more convictions for noise 56 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 7: complaint citations in a twelve month period, or if the owner, operator, 57 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 7: or occupants of the property has any convictions for certain 58 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 7: serious crimes. 59 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 8: Put some teeth in it, because you know, we've had 60 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 8: so many problems. 61 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 7: Gretchen Gillis echoes that disappointment. Her neighborhood between Montrose and 62 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 7: the Museum District has had its own issues. 63 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 8: She says, because of short term rentals, we have a 64 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 8: tremendous amount of police activity. We have a lot of 65 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 8: ambulance activity. There are constant problems with noise and trash. 66 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 7: She is glad the city is looking at solutions, but 67 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 7: wants to see more. 68 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 8: It's this, you know, acting like a hotel but not 69 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 8: having any of the obligations or responsibilities. 70 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 5: That's the real problem. 71 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 7: I reached out to Airbnb, who offered inputs and feedback 72 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 7: and helping craft these new rules. They tell Khou eleven 73 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 7: home sharing offers an economic lifeline for many Houston residents, 74 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 7: boosts the local economy and helps the city absorb surges 75 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 7: in demand during major events. The sement goes on to 76 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 7: say travel on Airbnb generated more than one and a 77 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 7: half a billion dollars in the Houston economy in twenty 78 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 7: twenty three alone, and that they are committed to ensuring 79 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 7: her post regulations make it as easy as possible for 80 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 7: Houston residents to continue earning extra money by sharing their home. 81 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 7: Tuesday is the last chance for residents for public comment 82 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 7: on this issue before Kasta City Council takes it up 83 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 7: for a vote on Wednesday. 84 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 6: I am all for commerce. I am all for the marketplace, 85 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 6: creating efficiencies using unspoiled inventory. 86 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 5: If you. 87 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 6: Own a place, you're not there year round, to be 88 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 6: able to rent that to someone who only needs it 89 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 6: for a period of time, they find something typically if 90 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 6: that's what they're seeking, more to their needs than a hotel, 91 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 6: a little more relaxed, a full on place, more space, 92 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 6: typically at far less cost than a hotel. I get 93 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 6: that all of that is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. What happens 94 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 6: when you live in a condo, shared walls, shared entry space, 95 00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 6: shared parking. 96 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 7: And. 97 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 6: You've got an eighty thousand dollars condo, which in the 98 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 6: city of Houston means you can't move and find something else. 99 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 6: You've lived there for a long time. You don't have 100 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 6: the financial means to move to a night and you 101 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 6: shouldn't need to. And you have a neighbor, often a 102 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 6: foreign owner, who is renting these things out. They do 103 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 6: not care that it's absolute thugs in there. They're holding 104 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 6: house parties, making thousands of dollars a night for twenty 105 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 6: dollars and come and do whatever you want. They're having 106 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 6: sex on your balcony in front of your front door. 107 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 6: The parties and the sex on the balconies in the 108 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 6: common areas. The door is wide open while you get 109 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 6: up to take your kids to school. All of this happened. 110 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 6: All of this happened just west of the Galleria, in 111 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 6: an area where you wouldn't expect it to happen. There's 112 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 6: a huge racial element because the woman who complained is Asian. 113 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 6: The people who are doing this or black. You see 114 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 6: video of the parties and they're literally, I mean it's 115 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 6: it's the worst kind of lounge party, thug event.

Okay, 336 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 6: here's the story cut is number four, box twenty six. 337 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 13: This is from me that he loved me very I 338 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 13: love you, and we kissed and I knew at that 339 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 13: moment and. 340 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 5: I just felt it. 341 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 13: I just felt that was that was his last breath. 342 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 14: When armed thieves fired a fatal round into the body 343 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 14: of Deputy Darren Almondatdas, they inflicted a wound to his wife, 344 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 14: Flor that may never fully heal. Broken hearts are like that. 345 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 13: But during today I'm constantly thinking about it. To me, 346 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 13: it's like it's still surreal that I just want him 347 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 13: to come back, and I feel like this is just 348 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 13: a bad dream. 349 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 14: Twenty four hours after the Texas Senate passed legislation cracking 350 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 14: down on those who steal and traffic catalytic converters, Flora 351 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 14: Almandadas sees the measure as her peace officer husband continuing 352 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 14: to protect the public. 353 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 6: Ye. 354 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 13: I was selden in his heart that he needed to 355 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 13: do something for people. 356 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 14: Always, always, the beloved wife of a fallen deputy says 357 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 14: the remainder of her days will be devoted to completing 358 00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 14: the mission. Darren Almandadas began to the Harris County Judi Sherry, 359 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 14: who viewed catalytic converter theft as victimless. She offers her 360 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 14: loss and her pain as proof it is not. 361 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 13: It's the worst fan I've ever felt before to see 362 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 13: my husband and die, for him to die in my arms. 363 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 6: You know, how do you recover from something like that? 364 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 6: Remember they called those guys and put them back on 365 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 6: the street again. Oh, it's unbearable. It's that pain and 366 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 6: we're watching this happen. 367 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 5: Wow. 368 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 6: A big congratulations to Cash Rees, our own Robert Reese's son. 369 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 6: Today he signs to play soccer for Shriner University in 370 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 6: the beautiful Kerville, Texas. A law a lot of hard 371 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 6: work to get to this point. That's that's a big deal. 372 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 6: Congratulations cash Res. 373 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 3: A big love. 374 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 6: Is As based company headquartered in way Plaza called Sonova 375 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 6: sun an Ova, and they have been the darling of 376 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 6: the business press for years and now they're struggling. 377 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 5: There's there's some. 378 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 6: Pretty reasoned opinion that they will go out of business 379 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 6: or be bought. They have just adopted a poison pill, 380 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 6: which the short version of is a measure put in 381 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 6: place to prevent someone from coming in and swooping up 382 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 6: the company on a deep discount while it's struggling. Companies 383 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 6: will do this because they fear a takeover. And so 384 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 6: in this case, if a buyer hits beyond four point 385 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 6: nine percent, if someone were to acquire more than four 386 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 6: point nine percent, so if they were to hit five 387 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 6: percent of Sonova's stock, or if anybody over that amount 388 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 6: were to acquire additional stock, then what is called their 389 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 6: tax asset preservation plan would be triggered, which would allow 390 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 6: the shareholders except for the one who just triggered the plan, 391 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 6: because then he would be able to increase his share 392 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 6: to be able to acquire more shares of common stock 393 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 6: at a fifty percent discount. So they're basically if you 394 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 6: start trying to come in and buy a larger percentage 395 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 6: of the company, they will dilute the shares to prevent 396 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 6: you from doing that by giving a discount to the employees. 397 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 6: But the reason they're doing this is they fear a 398 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 6: takeover because the stock price has dropped and somebody is 399 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 6: going to pick through what they think is an undervalued 400 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 6: asset or an undervalued company and buy it up, and 401 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 6: obviously the management would be would be pushed out, and 402 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 6: they think it's undervalued at present. Normally, you want to 403 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 6: share this. You want to sell as many of your 404 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 6: shares of stock as you possibly can, because that's how 405 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 6: you capitalize your company, and you don't want someone to 406 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 6: take it over. But at five percent is pretty low 407 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 6: cap in any case. I say all that to say this, 408 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 6: So the CEO and chairman and founder of the company 409 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 6: is a guy named John Berger, b E R G 410 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 6: E R. I don't know John Berger. I happened to 411 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 6: meet him the other night. After the police officer event, 412 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 6: we stopped by some friends of ours were at the 413 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 6: Oak Room. Uncle Jerry was driving me, so Uncle Jerry 414 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 6: and I stopped by the Oakroom and visited with some friends, 415 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,479 Speaker 6: and John Berger happened to be there. And I had 416 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 6: been having a conversation about him and this company with 417 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 6: Dancy Ware a few days earlier. Who is she does 418 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 6: strategic public relations and she represents Sonova And she had said, 419 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 6: would you ever be willing to talk to Sonova on 420 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 6: the air? And I said, yes, but you have to 421 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 6: understand i am very very anti Solar and I'm not 422 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: going to hide that. I'm going to ask skeptical questions. 423 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 6: And she said, I would expect you to do no less, 424 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 6: because what I don't want to do with a friend, 425 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 6: which I considered Dancy to be, is have someone pitch 426 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 6: me on a guest to talk to, thinking that they're 427 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 6: going to come on and I'm going to say, it's 428 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 6: really great. You're being owned by the American Heart Association 429 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 6: gala as Father of the Year, and you've been nothing 430 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 6: but successful. I hear your golf handicap is three? How 431 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 6: did you get to be so? Golly? G you is 432 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 6: awful awesome? Not awful awesome? How did you get to 433 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 6: be so great? And that's what they're expecting, And instead 434 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 6: I'm saying, all right, here is Houston Business Journal, Here 435 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 6: is Houston Chronicle, Here is a Chamber of Commerce, Here 436 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 6: is Wall Street Journal, here is Texas Muntly hear all 437 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 6: these articles saying so nova is the next big thing, 438 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 6: because solar is the next big thing. And I have 439 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 6: believed all along that solar is not sustainable. And I 440 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 6: don't mean sustainable in this stupid environmental way. Even that 441 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 6: word is such a scam. It's up there with the 442 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 6: big pharm of hoax on COVID. What I mean is 443 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 6: in the traditional business class use of the term sustainable. 444 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 6: A company that has revenues of one hundred thousand dollars 445 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 6: a year and expenses of one hundred and ten thousand 446 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 6: dollars a year, it's not a sustainable business model. You're 447 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 6: not going to survive. It will not sustain operations, not survive. 448 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 6: So that's what I've believed for a long time until 449 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 6: and I don't believe it will ever happen the technology 450 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 6: dramatically changes. I don't believe that's going to be the case. 451 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 13: Now. 452 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 6: I'm not rooting for SONVA to fail. That's not me. 453 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 6: I don't do that. There are investors and probably scientists 454 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 6: who were attempting, some of them, were attempting to diversify 455 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 6: America energy provision. And I am for that. But let's 456 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 6: be honest. If we're serious about diversifying energy, if you're 457 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 6: serious about efficient energy, then you would scrap everything else 458 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 6: that every alternate energy fuel source today and you would 459 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 6: go nuclear. And scientists will tell you this. People who 460 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 6: are serious about energy will tell you nuclear is by 461 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 6: far the most efficient. Politically, it is repressed because everyone 462 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 6: is scared and the fear, it's an irrational fear. It's 463 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 6: the same irrational outburst of applause that occurs when a 464 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 6: plane lands. Did you think it wasn't going to land? 465 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 6: How about I show you the data the data doesn't lie. 466 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 6: How About I show you how many planes take off 467 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 6: in land every single day safely compared to the likelihood 468 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 6: that you die in a car wreck within two miles 469 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 6: of your home. Even even adjusting for how many hours 470 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 6: you engage in each behavior, and you will see that 471 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 6: it's far more dangerous to drive on roads with parallel 472 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 6: parallel drivers, some of them drunk, some of them stupid, 473 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 6: some of them crazy, as opposed to being in a 474 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 6: well oiled machine that's well maintained. 475 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 4: That used to be the. 476 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 6: Case until DEI took over the airline business. Maybe that's 477 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 6: why people cheer. But back to Sanova. I'm not taking 478 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 6: a victory lab. I'm simply pointing out that we we 479 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,239 Speaker 6: need to when we see these things happen, we need 480 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 6: to understand how far we went down a road chasing 481 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 6: ferry dust. Do you know how many billion dollars of 482 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 6: tax breaks have been given out for these solar panels 483 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 6: on top of roofs. It would shock you. I saw 484 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 6: the number. I don't recall it, and I don't want 485 00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 6: to get I don't want to get to scale wrong. 486 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 6: But I remember it being so much more. I can't 487 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 6: tell you how many people I've known who are a 488 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 6: waitress at a restaurant, uber driver, some other random thing 489 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 6: who tried to sell me on solar panels, to which 490 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 6: I would respond, those things are hideous. Do I look 491 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 6: like Jimmy Carter? No, I'm not putting solar panels in 492 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 6: my house, to which they respond, you get up to 493 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 6: seventy five income tax break when you're selling a supposed 494 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 6: form of energy based on lowering the person's income taxes. 495 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 6: Does that Does that start to give you the idea 496 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 6: that this is not really a sustainable business model, that 497 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 6: we're not really providing energy, and energy is everything we 498 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 6: talk so much about race and silly things that politicians 499 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 6: talk about. If you don't have cheap, reliable, plentiful energy, 500 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 6: your economy will die. 501 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 5: In fact, mmm
