I'll just tie a couple of things together.
In addition to the dollar getting crushed, you know, I've been showing the chart with productivity going down for 70 years in a row.
President Trump's doing everything right, bringing capital back into the country on that one.
But I just wanted to bring up the AI story.
I know you're probably going to dig into that later.
Artificial intelligence, the headwinds to that.
To the productivity growth, there is Robert Gordon again, the leading guy in the country, Northwestern.
He's got four headwinds.
I just want to list them off because these are pretty fascinating, and they're the issues Colvett and others have mentioned.
Number one, demographic trends.
Two, educational quality, right, tying into the immigration issues that we don't have quality education.
Third, the debt problem.
And fourth, growing inequality.
All of these are headwinds to artificial intelligence taking off the way some people think.
