And then if we can get in three to five years, if we can show some economic benefits, like people get paid better, there's more financial security.
There's been wealth creation in a few cases that go beyond what was possible before.
And through that, we see a model that can follow.
Those are the sorts of steps that allow this to become more and more embedded and more and more of a default.
And these are things that, yeah, that are not fun to think about.
I appreciate that question.
I think it still comes from looking back, but comes from if I look at how cooperatives started, what the goals were of cooperatives.
And even cooperatives are a good analog to ACORPS, where a cooperative is an LLC with custom rules that eventually people decided, oh, we should make this rather than something you make from scratch.
Let's put it in a box.
So that it's easier to start one of these things, right?
It was already possible, but made it easier.
And that accelerated its growth.
But, you know, the first cooperatives, those are early 19th century.
The LLC is actually not that old.
And, you know, the PBCs was a process I saw happen.
So I can see how once these things enter the system, they tend to stay there.
And also I can see, I've learned to understand or just think about
just what are the reasonable expectations of like how things grow and how things become accepted?
And when I look at Acorps, I really see a whole new industry.
Like we have to create markets of people who want to buy Acorps shares.
