Okay, but what about this?
What do you mean there's a Chicago billionaire privately funding the underground nut spreading operation? The man is literally paying people to go put nuts in burrows to feed the squirrels.
The city is weighing legal action against Lincoln Park billionaire, Barry Seid, over claims that his nut spreading operation-
[laughs]
Oh
... is fueling a rat infestation.
Okay, so he's paying people to go feed squirrels, but th- the result is that it's really, um, making the rat population explode in Lincoln Park, and people are so angry about this because we're just invi- I mean, how much work people do and the city does to get rats out of-
The city
The city, out of the alleys.
I mean, you see all the signs and stuff in alleys that are like, "Don't feed the rats."
Yeah.
"Keep your trash can lid closed," things like this, and then this guy is basically fueling that problem.
Why?
I don't know, but Ahmad the Amazing said there was a theory, and this is just a theory.
Yes, that they're doing this to lower the property value so they could buy up all the properties.
So, so that this billionaire guy could buy up a bunch of land.
Yeah.
Dude, this is what I mean.
This is what I mean when people say that nobody becomes a billionaire ethically.
Like, there's just no-
Mm-hmm
... there's just no way.
Tax the rich! Anyway [clears throat].
