Got it. Well, you know, it's so it's never what they say it is. But I think the broader piece is, though, is that whether it's TikTok, whether it's, you know, Zinn in the United States or Anheuser-Busch, which used to be American owned. Yeah. I think you're going to have a lot of these companies need to have choices about what they're going to make moving forward.

I think it's going to be very difficult to operate in the U.S. if the U.S. is leaning more in towards these radical ideas of free speech and religion and open dialogue and those things, whereas we've always kind of been a city on the hill in the United States. We've always been this exceptional difference. Now more than ever, really. Probably now more than ever.

I mean, we're almost more isolated than probably we've ever been. Yes, I think that's right. The last four or five years, yes, we were going more towards this quasi-European socialism mentality. government intervention and free speech and everything else. And we have now rejected that as a country. But I think what's difficult is that, yes, we've rejected it politically.

But again, corporately, there's all these tethers from around the world, the effects of globalization over the last 20 years, that you have a lot of these companies that, frankly, might not hold sort of those same American values. Talk Philip Morris, you know, Anheuser-Busch InBev. based in Europe.

In Europe, they have quota systems for how many board members have to look this way or be that way over in Europe. And one of the reasons that I think, again, going back to the original question, like, how did this happen in the United States? Bud Light, the biggest beer brand in the United States, how do they have a partnership with Dylan Mulvaney?

Well, they, I think, have a lot of these European-type values now, diversity, equity, inclusion.
