We (the wife and I) lived in California from the early 1970s to the early 2010s and are guilty of having made a living in what used to be called "show business". We find amusement in our very old age in seeing how much Hollywood accounting has carried over to the digital age. The Captain makes money the old-fashioned way; he earns it. In the world of expert opinion he is up against all the people like NextGen who never have to show a profit. That is why, on the Captain's wish that real research will be believed and propagandists and politically illiterate firms will be kicked to the curb, I have to bet the under for 2026. (The wife never gambles; that is how we kept our ill-gotten gains.) But, we both think he and the very few brave, smart people like him will somehow manage to lead the country to victory in the war for liberty of conscience. On that we take the over.

Jim - I’ll make you a $10K side bet that he is correct on this and the Republican candidate wins the Arizona governor’s race in ‘26. Terms: Even money wager, no juice, you put up $10K and I put up $10K. We can speak on the phone and agree to do it on the honor system or we can agree on a third-party to hold it in escrow. I have given my cell # to Seth. If you’re interested get him your # and we can talk.

It would be great to see that sorry, cheating Governor thrown aside to the waste bin of history.
