So you have a lot that is sort of fully broken in this and there's no – it's hard to imagine any other way to veer off from that path other than something that does shake things up as much as Doge is doing.

I'll just throw out one more thing on this because I think the branding of Doge is often the efficiency side, which people always go to the spend side. But the corollary to that is the regulations that obviously are expensive to maintain. And that's what creates layers and layers of overhead on reviewing everything that's coming in then to the government.

And, you know, unfortunately, we have great examples in California where literally we spend more to do less. And it's because we've ratcheted up these layers and layers of regulation. And I have friends literally doing climate tech.

In climate tech, you couldn't imagine something more probably left-leaning Democrat that they can't actually get things done in California, the state that you would imagine to be the most kind of climate-first friendly state because of the amount of regulation that prevents them from getting things done.

So, you know, there's actually this like, you know, total combination of actually fewer regulations. You'll spend less money in government. You'll actually grow the economy faster, which will create more jobs. Like all of the things get solved, the more efficient you get, you know, kind of writ large on all of the topics.

Can I just get one more random example? Feel free to edit it out. Chamath, you'll like this because it came out of Meta. Have you followed the Z standard compression library from Meta? No. So this open source library, kind of a next gen compression on data. And we finally, it took us probably too long, but the team worked insanely hard, implemented this compression algorithm.

We literally, our uploads and downloads got faster. we spend less money on networking and compute. And it took some re-engineering of the system. But that's just not a concept that people go into problem solving with, which is like, what if the thing actually was cheaper to run and it was better?

And so think about all the systems of government that could just be upgraded and then you would spend less money actually maintaining them. I mean, we spend... you know, hundreds of billions of dollars, way too much on legacy infrastructure, technology. We could automate more. You could spend way less money and then get better outcomes. So this is just happening everywhere.

And I don't think people realize the scale of the opportunity.
