I also think that states now are talking to each other differently.
Now that you've got money that's out there that can be used to change the world, they start talking about AI and technology generally very differently.
Now it's not a sparse research.
We live in a world of abundance, and AI makes it that much more abundant if we use it correctly.
And it's not gonna happen today, but we believe by the time the administration has completed its work, we will have dramatically changed the face of how Americans work with information in the healthcare system.

But the most important thing is to make it safe to go outside.

We're open for business and I got to make this plug while I'm here.
