I mean, it could be overblown.

No need for an apology.

My position has always been it's displacement.

You're going to have some displaced in the short to midterm, and then eventually there'll be more problems to solve and people will have to reallocate.

I do think...

We're being, you know, I think the tech industry itself doesn't have enough empathy or enough thoughtfulness when discussing this because these are real people losing real jobs.

And you can point at statistics and you think they're spinning, but these are real people losing real jobs who may not make the transition.

Jason, I got it.

Do you think it's more empathetic to be scaring the bejesus out of people that they're going to lose their jobs?

No, and I'm not in the scaring camp.

I'm not in the scaring camp.

I am in the enabling camp.

That's why I keep saying if you've been laid off, you should start a company and you should embrace the tools.

So I'm all about empowering people.

I think if they learn the tools, they'll have 10 job offers and they'll start their own company.

So I do think there's a solution to it.

I just think we're going to go through low millions of jobs.

being lost or being retired and transitioned out.

And as to your vibe shift, I think it's because, candidly, people's houses have been Molotov cocktailed because they're doomerism.

And people specifically are citing that when they shoot at their houses and throw Molotov cocktails at them twice in the same week.
