for it to end and it doesn't seem to be doing

I think that's kind of the the big takeaway.

We meet periodically and we look at where we are and I kind of take a macro view of the whole thing.

And what she said about the uncertainty is really the watchword for the moment.

With everything going on in the federal government, the administration.

The news headlines we all see, not just about the economy, but a whole bunch of other stuff, right?

Immigration, trade policy, all the way down to which law firm, Iran, you know, we started dropping iron on people's heads out of the blue.

There politics left or right, there is this.

non-stop drumbeat of wow, look at that.

And that is causing this veil of uncertainty that we've been talking about, hopefully dissipating now for three quarters, to persist.

And I can't stress enough the impact macroeconomically that has not only on the VC and startup ecosystem, but the economy as a whole.

It's a big deal.

Um, people delay hiring, they delay investments.

No one really knows what's happening with this whole tariff situation.

So does that mean I build my new factory here?

Do I take the hit on the labor cost or do I try to find a tariff advantaged country?

Do I wait and see if all of this blows over?

Because a lot of the stuff that the the current administration likes to do is a lot of bluster.

And at the end of the day, um history has shown that it isn't as

long lasting as initially feared, that key thing, weight, is starting to really have an impact.
