Like our little, do you approve on the cookie tracking, allow all annoyance is the beginning of our upcoming hell. And I hope, I find it with myself, I'd rather pay. I'd rather pay 10 bucks to have the thing that I don't need to. A friend of mine is developing a mapping thing called Over a story, I think.

Basically, it's paid mapping because he's so upset about being targeted while he's trying to get a route. It's trying to give you ads on where to stop. He's like, I don't want that. I just want to have... And so maybe we're on to that. Maybe a couple more subscriptions for Adam that come with no ads.

The one that pissed me off the other day is I think I pay for subscription for like every single different โ because my kids watch soccer and the other one watches NFL. So you end up paying for every streaming thing whether you want to or not. Totally. And one of them, I don't know, it was Paramount or something. Like we pay for it. And then it gives us ads when we hit the pause button.

And I was like, oh, that's a step too far, man. Like I hit the pause button and then it was like, well, you're Boz. Let me just advertise to you. And I was like, oh. I pay you already. Stop.

Well, I think that they might not own it, but they're going to cause it to occur as customers. I think they're very different businesses. Some are high margin, high growth. The other ones are used to being regulated, non-growth businesses. I think the big shift we're having right now is that energy is gone from basically we reach peak load.

in the 90s and it's been slowly decreasing or like growing very minimal to it's actually growing by a few percentage points a year which is crazy and we're not used to it so you know we might see some energy businesses go private and turn into like growth businesses basically right i mean you can see constellation which is the nuclear operator doing that if they figure out that they can build

10 or 20 more new nuclear plants, which hasn't happened since the 60s, it'd be a growth business. So I think we'll probably just see a lot more. Well, we've already seen it, like even in Ashburn, Virginia, which is the largest data center market in the world.

Just the local planning board saying, hey, I'm not going to approve this building permit because you're going to bring in 500 diesel generators or you're going to use our water. You're going to use 50 million gallons of water a month. We don't want that, actually. That's a municipal thing that we need. We want no diesel generators next to our school and we need the water for our other stuff.

I think these things are mixing only because it's just become a bigger part of our lives. And it's a critical part of a lot. It's not just a nice to have. It's a must have, I think, in most ways. So that just means more involvement between public policy and private companies.

And maybe that results in just straight up regulation, or maybe that just results in better partnership or, you know, that being on the talking points of our next podcast. You know, local election is how we're going to support or not support these types of initiatives.
