 Okay, some good news out of Chile. So here's the story. You know, Chile took the sharp turn to the left in two things. One in a referendum to rewrite its constitution and basically a mandate to rewrite the constitution a year or two ago and then by electing a radically leftist Marxist president in spite of the massive success that market reforms have led to in Chile, they elected this radical left president. But then, you know, there was an attempt to pass, there was an attempt to confirm a super-leftist constitution, an assembly that would write a super-leftist constitution. And that in a referendum in Chile, and one of the best things to happen in Latin America in a very long time, that was defeated thoroughly by a, you know, by a, what do you call it, by referendum in Chile and so again that happened. Now the push to rewrite the constitution continued because the fact is that, you know, that had been, that had been, that was voted on and determined that it needs a new constitution. One second, I'm just, something here. Oh yeah. So anyway, yesterday, Chile elected a right-wing council to draft a new constitution in spite of the fact that they elected a very leftist president not that long ago. As a consequence, the stock market in Chile went up with anticipation that the new council that's going to draft this constitution is basically draft a constitution that's going to maintain, maybe even make stronger, the country's market-based economic model. Now this was a big blow to the president, Gabriel Boric. And again, you know, I think voters in Chile really scared off by the left-wing constitutional assembly that came into being and that was voted down last year. You know, Chile is in a recession. It's expected to contract 1% this year. You know, it has not gone well as this leftist president has tried to roll back the market programs in Chile. Of course, previous presidents in Chile have not exactly fought for market reforms. So it's going to be interesting to see, you know, this conservative, this constitutional council is, I guess, 50 people or 51 people where they have 34 conservatives, 16 are left-wing and one indigenous delegate. And you know, it's going to be interesting to see the right-wing here has a significant majority. I mean, they could write what they want. And it's going to be really interesting. Here's an opportunity for conservatives to the right to actually do the right thing. You know, we'll see. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens, you know, what this will actually look like and what will actually be proposed. My guess is they'll probably design something very similar to what Chile already has. And then the question is, will they focus on economic liberty? Will they focus on expanding the market economy? Or will they focus on social issues and will they put into the constitution issues related to kind of social programs, abortion, immigration, and other issues like that? So, you know, there's a real effort, there's a real effort to legalize abortion and, you know, we will see if the conservatives try to reverse that in this constitutional process. So it'll be interesting. Are the conservatives interested in economic freedom? Are conservatives interested in diminishing social freedoms and expanding the world of religion in the state? That is of course the question all over the world, and it's a question that Chileans are going to have to deal with here in the near future. But it's good news in a sense that we've escaped the possibility of a horrible leftist constitution which looked like the fate of Chile just about a year ago.
