And they have to bring it, you know, proof of concept, all these things that get back into that

technology world where I think some of those use cases and drivers start to skew a little bit, unfortunately.

I don't know how we fix that.

But I did want to tell you one thing that I don't think I've ever told you before.

My first job out of grad school in nuclear policy, I actually lived in Iowa City and the job was in Muscatine, Iowa.

And so it was called the Stanley Foundation.

Then now it's the Stanley Center for Peace and Security.

And this was one of the Stanley family.

The New Yorker poster in my office is one of the Stanley family pieces like in the office when one of the Stanley's actually passed away that used to run

the company.

And this was given to me when I left there.

And it's how New Yorkers see the world because I was born and raised in New York and then moved to the Midwest.

And so it's like this joke about how we see the rest.

And Muscatine is just written in there in pencil and you can't see it, but it's in there somewhere near Kansas City, just written in.

And if you know, John Deere is right there, one of the headquarters, and they have all the tractors lined up.

And so there was always this weird overlap with

My professional life and farming and agriculture, so John Deere, a lot of farming families there, and then including my partners, and then the Heinz and Kraft factories.

So I always used to joke that it smelled like macaroni and cheese everywhere on the river when we would go to work.

That's funny.

And then also Han Furniture is the other big industry and Pearl Buttons.
