So, Jackal, what's the takeaway for our buddies over in Big Pool? matched

The biggest opportunity for the little guy is when everybody hates the big guy. matched

Yeah, you see, Yeti's. matched

If this trend continues in a few years, there are not gonna be any locally owned pool companies. matched

Companies. matched

It'll just be big pool, which will have the power to nickel and dime you to deliver returns to their investors. matched

Uh-huh. matched

But the answer to capitalism is capitalism. matched

It's competition. matched

Now, one prediction of the AI Optimus is that creating a new business will be easier than ever thanks to AI. matched

Yeah, AI's gonna make it easy to form an LLC, manage the books, market online, become a more profitable startup in your own profit puppy era. matched

So one person who's working at big pool could quit, start their own business. matched

More human branding, better customer service, localization, maybe even lower prices because they don't have to deliver returns to PE. matched

There are very low barriers to entry to servicing pools. matched

Big bad monopolies, they just can't hold on to that market in the deep end. matched

It's competition, baby. matched

So ironically, the answer to capitalism. matched

It's actually capitalism. matched

A little more capitalism. matched

But besties, this pod's not over yet. matched
