[00:48:03] S2: And I think there are some good examples of that. A few companies on the eighty fifty list who like build real things in their communities and show up the right way. There are also bad examples that have existed in the last few years. I mean, if you look at what AMCA does, they show up to these really small machine shops that exist, they partner with them, they don't cut the management and fire people, they say, how can we build new products and grow the kind of business that you have today? And it's that type of concept of working with communities as opposed to working against them, that I think we still need to wrestle with a little bit in the tech world, and understand that just because we sit in Silicon Valley, I mean, we we we don't understand everything that's happening in the world. And, you know, fundamentally, I think a lot of these 80 companies will build stuff that that touches Middle America. I mean, it will physically exist in Middle America. And, you know, I I I think that's net good. Prosperity. I think that means more energy and abundance world where, you know, we have a safer America. And [00:49:02] S1: Less concentration of wealth in these pockets... In these elite pockets on the coast. It's a good thing. Yeah. But it will take time. [00:49:08] S2: Yeah. [00:49:09] S3: Well, Erin, Connor, thank you so much for joining, and everyone can check out the eighty fifty list today. [00:49:15] S2: Awesome. Thanks. [00:49:16] S1: Awesome. Thanks so much.
