We are in the AI era, and when you're analyzing businesses of what is AI going to replace, really the trades is going to be one of the very last type of any type of industry that's going to be replaced by artificial intelligence and robotics, right? Like for a robot to show up to somebody's home to analyze the situation and customize an approach, like that just seems so far-fetched versus...

versus like, you know, just an arm that's replacing and doing a task over and over again in a manufacturing facility. And so, you know, you look at these, these software companies that have traditionally taken a lot of money from private equity and whatnot. Those things are being, I mean, you got softwares being written in three days through artificial intelligence.

You just got like, I mean, the ability to replicate most businesses is, is just, like crazy. And so I think that's where the blue collar work really shines through.

And yet somehow the government still broke. i know it's sad do you feel like do you feel like taxing all your people 13 on the top oh my gosh it's trust me do you feel like that keeps people out of the market because of the bear of entry i think i think it brings out the best in people too so it does keep a

Right? You know, it's interesting. These barriers of entry, I think, create tons of value, a ton of opportunity because, yeah, most guys aren't willing to go through any type of barrier of entry. That's really what made us successful in building a solar company out of Washington State.

For anybody that's ever looked in the solar industry, typically it's going to be around where the sunniest places with the highest electric rates. I mean, we're talking about Seattle, which is not the sunniest, and the lowest cost energy in the United States. And that's where we chose to establish our business, where literally everybody else was taking the low-hanging fruit and working up.

We took the highest hanging fruit and worked down. That's dope, man. And because of it, we established ourselves in a way that was just completely different. Having these different regulations. You know, Washington State's just as crazy as California when it comes to regulation, right? Like electrical regulation, you got to have, you can only have two apprentices per journeyman.
