We don't control the floor session. But given the change that could come, I think that that's something that we look forward to weighing in on in the future. The president didn't just say that data reigns supreme and that there should be data centers all over the place. He actually literally wrote that if A community chooses not to have a data center, then they are backwards and poor. The President, United States is disrespecting the American people who choose not to have a data center. He's calling you backwards and poor. He is straight up saying that you are backwards and poor. (19:20–19:34)
