Yep. Own it, Stevie.

I give up on trying to figure out what this administration wants to build and maintain.

It's interesting that in 2017 Mnuchin said, "we're in an environment where there is very attractive investment opportunities in the US." What the hell did he see as attractive? Growing and selling pot to subvert our nation like the Opium Wars that happened 150 years ago? Is that his game book? I am convinced it is.

The US had every material thing that any rational person could ever want by the time K-Mart and Builder's Square went under. Around then Warren Buffet suffered one of his biggest blunders when his investment in American textiles went under. Warren thought that Americans would never go so far that they could not make underwear for themselves. Wrong.

A few years later, but before Mnuchin's 2017 babbling, Warren said that he could not find any more value to be had in America. Warren was trepidatiously investing in foreign markets while avoiding investing in the growing American energy trade/information economy that he did not understand. Fuck. I am a electrical engineer/patent attorney and I still do not understand it either. It's a circle jerk of blinking lights as far as I can tell.

Warren Buffet is more mensch than mere meat with eyes. Mnuchin appears to be mindless meat.
