There's one of the things that I would like to leave you and the audience with is this technology was invented in the United States. And we— It's like the origin of Silicon Valley. Well, not just Silicon Valley. Not quite, but like— Yeah. I mean, the transistor was invented in the United States. It's as if we didn't value our own intellectual property enough. And we lost control. And now we don't have enough manufacturing facilities to meet our own demand, and we don't have enough skilled labor. And that's sad. It's really sad. So I would so much like to see it brought back to the United States and, and for us to become a leader in the technology again.
