And it's in very rare periods where those two things essentially kind of are um you know there's a there's a premium everybody ignores unprofitability.
Everybody says it doesn't matter whether you make profits or not.
It happened in ninety nine and it's going to happen again for about a kind of fifteen month period I think between kind of like late twenty and and late twenty one.
Um clearly
We're no longer in that kind of abnormal period.
So in a lot of ways where the markets have reverted to is kind of where it's been for most of the last ten or fifteen years and there's now a very big dissonance if you're not a profitable business anymore.
View we took 20 years ago that software was going to be a tool for good and a tool for increased kind of productivity in a very wide variety of kind of jobs and markets.
And you know, that's a trend that doesn't play out, you know, in five years or seven years.
You know, it actually plays out over kind of multiple decades.
And if you start to look at kind of S-curves of kind of
cloud penetration into the end markets that we talk about, tax accounting, healthcare, insurance, etc.
I think we're all pretty clear that actually we're on the upswing of the first part of the S curve.
We're hit we're nowhere near hitting the c top end.
So I'm still very, very bullish about the ability for what we do to be positive for the end industries in which we operate and
you've obviously got that existential question about, you know, is software doing good or is software cutting jobs out?
I think we can see very clearly that, you know, the industries in in which our software kind of operates are not decreasing jobs, not decreasing employment.
They're actually increasing jobs and increasing employment and there's a lot of data we've got to prove that over decades.
So I think it is genuinely kind of cutting out a lot of the kind of more mundane, more laborious tasks that people don't want to do, freeing people up to do things that are more creative and more interesting in.
all the industries that we uh we participate in.
But I'm gonna turn it back to you 'cause I know you're very, very passionate about this and you're very articulate about it.
