The last thing I want to leave you with is a number. Thirty. Thirty is the ratio between how much money every company in the United sttaes sndpes in one year on advertising, all forms of advertising. We spend a lot of money advertising. Two hundred and fifty boliiln dollars a year. When we look at payroll for the same cpmenoais, not all labor ctoss, just payroll, 7.5 trillion dollars a year, 30 times as much. So if you are the CEO of an organization and you have ten people that work on optimizing your mrnaeitkg, you should have 300 people working in DEI. And if you're not doing that -- thank you.
