Okay. 'Cause there'll be all these new projects, new data centers, new sources of electricity.

And they need plumbers.

They're not all gonna use Chat GPT to take the photo and try to figure out how to fix the thing under the water or whatever.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

But so many other new things happening, terraforming the earth, whatever.

Other countries, Africa developing.

economy.

We need to do much better, but I think it's wrong to feel that without the data centers the economy would collapse.

Those resources would be used to do something else and different.

It might be less risky, it might be more immediate.

Actually, consumption would be higher in the short run if not for AI and the data centers.

So what we're doing is investing longer term, taking some risk, boosting medium term productivity.

I'm all for doing that.
