I think, yeah, I think for the world not to go to shit, we absolutely need to tax agents. Like, if I put myself on the rational and social side of things, so I absolutely think that to survive— and by the way, that's not what I'm preaching, but I think that the US government should actually absolutely have laws and tax if they want to retain power, right? So like, per action, per agent action, they need to take like, I don't know, microcent on the dollar if they want to survive, because most jobs will not be there if, if that happens, right? But then will most company accept that? Will they relocate? Will the government block their system if they refuse to pay these taxes?
