And I think it started to change the conversation a little bit. I mean, we started just foundational facts that we push back and we are able to not just assert it, but prove the lies and myths and disinformation. But the same thing is happening with this California derangement syndrome that's out there 24-7. And that's why we just put out, you're right, CaliforniaFacts.gov.

And it's incredibly important because it's a point of pride. But it's also an important part of the progress we're making as a state. Again, the fourth largest economy, appreciate you highlighting that. And obviously that's highlighted in the ad. We had record breaking tourism spend last year, years back to back of increased population. We're the number one manufacturer in every category.

California continues to punch above its weight, but people don't believe that. And many Democrats have started to doubt that as well. So that's the idea. It's just a mechanism to push back. And it's just another one of many efforts here to iterate.

No, I appreciate it. Look, I mean, we're 18% of the world's R&D, which is just foundational in terms of our capacity to continue to lead in terms of innovation and entrepreneurialism. 32 of the top 50 AI companies in the world are located in California.

but we have very progressive rate as it relates to middle income and low wage earners. And I'll give you a proof point of that.

So that issue among many other issues, again, manufacturing, and I don't think most Californians know this, $412 billion of output in manufacturing. That's 41% bigger than the next state.
