Well, just responding to what you just said there about the surgery, one thing that's really frustrating to me is

agreed preventative medicine is easier and more effective.

But what is so upsetting to me is they actually did figure out the surgery.

They did identify where to make all the cuts between the Siamese twins, especially with Google as an example and the search division.

And they figured that whole thing out.

They laid out the plan.

They laid out the remedy.

And I think one of the craziest things that we saw when it comes to antitrust this year was...

the judge agreeing that Google had a monopoly.

And then when it comes to dishing out the punishment, he sort of backs off, retraces his steps.

And he says, actually, AI is happening.

And, you know, AI means that Google is going to be, you know, competing and they have to deal with this really difficult thing called chat GPT.

So I'm not really going to punish.

And that to me was like a giant slap in the face to Google.

all of the work that all of these antitrust guys... And to your point, yeah, they spent years and years trying to figure out, how do we make that surgery?

They figured it out.

And then the guy, all he had to do was just carry the ball across the line.

And he didn't do it.

And now we see, like, Google is actually beginning to dominate in AI.

We saw those statistics.
