if we're in the Iran war for much longer and, you know, access to the sale of oil starts to slow down as the rate goes up, that cash machine coming outta the Middle East to fund these tech IPOs may be slowing down as well.
Oh, I see it the other way actually.

It's going to take over the world, and there's nothing going on in Italy. There's nothing going on in, you know, wherever you are. So you gotta, you gotta pour it into this economy one way or another.
