istration, they started with this Ministry of Truth and now they've got this other Republican hunting organization going on there, hunting and tagging Republicans. But I think what they really needed was they should create a new ministry. So I'd like to see the Biden administration create the Ministry of Not Doing a Thing About Fentanyl Because That Would Be Racist. Because apparently the big pushback is that there are over a hundred groups who are advocating for lower fentanyl dealer sentences because sentencing people for fentanyl would be racist because you'd get more people of color presumably arrested. So if that's their point of view and it seems that the administration is influenced by that then why not just create the Ministry of Not Doing a Thing About Fentanyl Because That Would Be Racist? Let's just label it what it is if that's their argument. If they're not going to do a thing about a hundred thousand people dying every year, if they're not gonna do a thing, just create a department to not do a thing. Just own it. Just own it. That's all I'm asking for. It's okay to do nothing. Well it's not okay but if you're gonna do nothing just own it. Don't do nothing and tell me you're doing something because you're not. Do nothing and then just create a whole worthless piece of bureaucracy to brag to everybody how nothing you're doing.

Some of you might know I have a little bit of an attitude about this fentanyl situation. Maybe you've heard. Wow. If I were a single issue voter this would be my single issue.

All right. Some of you have asked why is the Russian ruble doing well and the dollar's not as well as the ruble apparently. And I saw a great thread by Azleckberg who seems to know what he's talking about and he explains it simply this way. Russia can support the ruble by just telling people that they have to pay them in rubles. Say you can buy our oil but you're gonna have to convert your money to rubles first because we're only going to take rubles. As long as people want to buy their oil and energy in general then the ruble will stay high because there's an artificial demand for it. But the sanctions against Russia are more about their imports. So the sanctions about them selling things are not as aggressive at the moment. It would probably take a long time for people to get alternate sources of energy etc. So they can't really close down Russia's exports right away. But we're apparently trying to, we meaning the people in charge of sanctions, by limiting what comes in. Now eventually if you limited all their imports you would close down their exports too. So if you stop their imports that will eventually get to everything because they won't be able to build a new refinery. They won't be able to repair something that breaks. Eventually would shut down the whole country because they don't make chips and stuff enough in Russia.

So does that make sense? That the reason that Russia's ruble is good is that we're not doing much about what they're selling but we're doing a lot about what they're buying. And that doesn't have as much impact on the ruble. About that for a simple economic explanation. Did that clear anything up for you or did that just confuse you? I'm seeing no. Plausible. Well the plausible part is right. I mean I'm pretty sure the explanation is right.

About the minion plushie at the top shelf. Somebody's asking about my minion. Well it's not a plushie. It's ceramic but it was just a gift at one point. I just liked it.

All right. So I think that cleared that up for you. Glad to he
