Literally every little hallway, every enter room, every corridor is exactly the same.

Lots of signs.

There's one sign in here.

Corridor number one.

Corridor number two.

My takeaway from this is that...

Cloud is very ephemeral.

Wi-Fi is very ephemeral.

But fundamentally, it's all a bunch of computers hardwired together.

Right?

That's basically how all this works.

Which sounds idiotically simple, but you never really think about it that way.

That digital economy is the economy these days.

The most valuable company in the world right now?

NVIDIA, with a market capitalization of $4 trillion.

This data center, in fact, is certified by NVIDIA for the specialized cooling systems that their chips require.

Chips that are being used more and more as AI becomes critical for so many different parts of this economy.

And that's why tomorrow we're going to the belly of the beast.

Fair enough.

This final note on the way out today, in which I am required once again by the Business Reporter's Code of Ethics to remind you that tariffs are taxes paid by consumers and businesses.
