I think they'll eventually get there, right? Those are just illustrations of the fact it takes a while to get everything dialed in. Just like it took us 18 months to get our first chip, and then now we're getting a two-week sprint. We can make our chip, but it took five years to get to that capability, if you will. I think they'll get all that figured out.

But in my mind, the other value proposition for chip manufacturing โ right, is to me chip manufacturing is like the 21st century automobile manufacturing jobs, if you will. It seems like that could provide a great opportunity for, you know, people to get meaningful work that pays well, that makes a product that a lot of people need, right?

And so I think in some ways that's the upside to trying to focus on getting more chip manufacturing here in the States, right? I just think that's a win-win, right?

Is it China or Taiwan? I don't know. I believe it's China. Okay. Because I think, certainly, I don't know definitively either, right?

So when I think of cutting-edge chip capability, I think of TSMC that is in Taiwan. And they've got those machines, the ASML machines. This is a very interesting thing, right? So the machines that help make some of those tiny chips that are inside the iPhone, they're made by this machine that's developed by a company called ASML over in Taiwan.

the netherlands um and you know part of me thinks it's like that's a very small brain trust of people right that are making machines that are kind of you know setting the pace for you know because i think about how what happens if somebody you know a bus has an accident or something like that right because it's just like such a small group of people that have this skill on how to make these right these tiny little features that are

Two or three nanometers. I mean, that's crazy small. What percentage of the population can do that? Right. There's not a lot. And two or three nanometers, it's like that's โ you know, if you were to put DNA on the table, right, and you calculated two or three nanometers, it'd be as very โ here, let me give you โ here's a better comparison. If you hold a marble in your hand โ
