Our road map does begin with tech stock volatility. Adobe shares are tumbling. Microsoft, though, record highs. Tesla and nvidia, those stocks, at least recently for nvidia, saying its a struggle may be an overstatement, but they certainly have not been going up. The nasdaq 100 pointed to its first backtoback weekly loss since last october. Plus tiktoks owner, bytedance, on track to surpass Metas Facebook as the Worlds Largest social Media Company by sales. And the chamber of commerce suing the s. E. C. Over new Climate Disclosure rules, a lot to unpack there. And were going to begin with the road ahead. In particular, for what has been driving this market for quite some time, and that is namely what we call the Mega Cap Technology companies, a. I. , particularly generative a. I. , and mike, ill turn to you. We just mentioned, of course, nvidia shares, which, yesterday, we discussed. I mean, jim and i, years ago, developed this thing called the key to this market, and it does feel like
You mentioned this earlier, but i think another issue for this generation is the barrier to entry for running for office or participating in the elected political life. And you know, from my experience this generation looks at life differently than others, so running for office or the hill may not be the best way to participate in service. I would be interested to hear what you have to say. What are the Biggest Barriers to participate in politics and why are young people not doing it more . People in Political Office often times today we look at them bickering over things that they dont think matter that the issues are affecting us or doing something without Climate Change making sure they have healthcare for all. This is an issue that young people are are interested in but then we dont see that happening in congress.

Any member the panel who chooses to answer. Is this a Technology Question . Mr. Coons that does suggest a first answer. Mr. Gates its exciting what well be able to do over the next decade. Id say were just at the very start of that. In the case of ebola, we werent able to track movements as well as we would have liked to. Having in place the ability to look at the data and make sure we werent violating peoples privacy wasnt set up. I think now that weve, in a delayed way, looked at that day that, what we have known better, thats a great impetus to move forward. In terms of the congo, the technology thats even more basic but more critical is satellite photography. The u. S. Military of course funded the creation of those technologies. Now in civilian hands, people like digital tpwhrobe are able to show us, you know, knowing the population of d. R. C. Knowing where the farming is taking place, were doing a lot of funding people to do surveys like that we have medicines for things like sl
Privatepublic partnership and you see at state and a. I. D. Small numbers of people who are expert at doing that. Then i have to give a shoutout within this account for the peace corps. I think its undervalued and underfunded. Our largest cohort every year works in the door and theyre peace corps volunteers. I hear their stories and know their impact in the world. It is so wildly disproportional to the tiny amount of resources they get. Thank you. Mr. Ford id just you dont have to spend it all, you could put it to work in credit. Credit is the life blood of commerce and credit is what is dried up and missing. The u. S. Banks have withdrawn completely from financing anything like what we do. Our Coffee Business are funded by individuals, happens to be from the state of arkansas and the state of texas, who just care. And otherwise its the chinese that have come in. So if youve got access to that kind of money, credit could use it too. Senator leahy preach to the converted, all of you do.
