Yeah, so a couple things.

So one is, I mean, look, there's just this endless, you know, there's this endless, I mean, there's literally been a 300-year argument about mechanization, industrialization, technology, computers, software, replacing human labor, causing unemployment, you know, lower wages and unemployment.

You know, it's been a 300-year argument.

You know, quite frankly, I'm even wondering at this point whether it's even worth having that argument because people really, really deeply don't want to hear it.

Yeah.

And what I find is I, you know, I go through it.

Many other people, by the way, there's great books on this topic and there have been for hundreds of years.

And people have talked about this for a long time.

You know, people really, this is one of those things where people really don't want to hear good news.

And so, you know, it's actually even hard to have a discussion about it because people actually won't, they're so dug in on this that they actually won't even engage on the topic.

They just keep repeating the same, kind of repeating the same fallacy over and over again.

So,

So, you know, we could go through that.

I guess the more interesting thing to say, though, is just like we have data now.

And, you know, because now we have AI and now we have data.

So we can like look at what's actually happening.

And I would just make a couple of observations.

So one is there was actually jobs data just came out today as a situation to monitor.

And, you know, it's sort of unexpectedly good.

And so, you know, and by the way, the jobs data overall in the last couple of years has been interesting because the federal government has actually shed, you know, has shed a lot of workers.
