So, yeah, I mean, I think that's just an important thing to point out in terms of kind of the potential for the local economies over the long term and the tax base, what that picture looks like for these localities.

And so even though these data centers aren't sort of bringing the kind of economic activity that might come with, say, you know, some sort of manufacturing facility, a factory or something like that, and they're offering all of these various tax cuts on different parts of the construction, it sounds like the amounts that are being spent are so high, in some cases in the billions of dollars, that it still does result in a pretty healthy revenue boost for many of these jurisdictions, right?

Now, you mentioned that some states are offering some sort of energy incentive.

That's obviously a really big component for data centers.

He notices weird things on screen that other people don't.

No, this isn't a sixth sense kind of thing.

It's a problem with watching cinematic content like that on modern TVs.
