It's actually pretty interesting.
36:40
So there's an overall concept of inflation, which, as you said, is growth of the money supply.
36:46
But the way that that plays out in the economy, and they actually analyze it this way, it's basically the way they think about it.
36:54
It's the basket of overall prices of everything in the economy.

Then there's bottleneck on literally physical facilities, physical plants, right? So, you know, the big data center controversy, right? Right.
21:06
and the whole thing on that.
21:10
By the way, there's constraints on all the physical infrastructure that go into building data centers.
