Yes, good.
I made it.
So I think that's part of it.
I think at the same time, you know, you've got people inside these companies who are leading the charge.
So it's not just people directly affected.
It's people who actually stand to benefit from this stuff, both the electricians, people inside Amazon.
For example, some Amazon employees recently urged the Seattle City Council to regulate data centers.
So even people with presumably a financial interest in this stuff are pushing back.
I get what you're saying, Zoe, but I think there is a certain...
It makes sense to me that people are saying, wait, hold up, because it's not an economy that everybody's able to participate in.
And to your point, they can't like roll it back either way until you can put data centers in space because they need the compute.
If not, impossible.
Zoe, is there any chance that the sort of internal dissent, right?
Electricians saying, I don't think so.
Workers inside a company saying, hey, we don't like data centers either.
Any chance that that changes anything at all in terms of the trajectory for these build outs, for these companies, for the spending?
Just real quick, Project Maven was working with the Pentagon, basically, right?
Using Google tech for the DOD.
Especially when the job market is radically different now for these engineers.
And I think a few years ago, there was a turning point, too, where Google fired a bunch of people for protesting, whereas before they had sort of allowed it, you know, tacitly sort of let it happen.
