  Speaker 4: China and Amazon twenty four percent, twenty seventeen, twenty two percent,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, thirty three to thirty eight percent, and twenty
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: twenty percentage of sellers based in China forty two percent.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Right now is estimated that forty nine percent of sellers
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: on Amazon's platform are in China. Mm hm, that isn't.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Scary dangerous that that percentage is dangerous of sellers.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: And also we're not even gonna break down who's making that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: That's not surprising when you when you just made the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: point like everything that we buy is made with.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: In China for sure, but it's an American company.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. They decided to be like no, you're done.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: We're gonna take We're going to do our own. Like
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: at least met is not dependent on China. That's actually
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: kind of helpful.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know, Amazon is already Well, I'm not
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: just depending on China because you're just talking about the
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: e commerce business.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: A WS is something totally different. That's a major part.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: A WS is just as major.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: And for what we just saw walking around, Yeah, but there,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: but that's what I'm saying.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: And they're in there too. And if you looked at
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: in videos partners, that name was there. We saw that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: You know whose name wasn't there? You see what I'm saying,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Oh for sure, So it sounds good like those companies.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not knocking your five. Your five is your five,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: but to throw them out like nah, bro, they won't
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: fire though, that's what I'm knocking it. I'm just saying
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: one of them, we're not gonna treat them like they
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: not with that issue is profit margins. But why it
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: is a part for margin that low because capital expenditure,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: they're always growing, they're always building, which is part of business.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: We can't they one of them ones? Man, I'm standing
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: on that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Who with me? But I'll be clear, Amazon ain't working
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: with the video on No Day.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: I didn't say that, Okay.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying outside of App and Nvidia the monopoly space,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: when they come into a space, they come to dominate,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: they come to take over.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: We've seen it right then.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: We at least still and they still have space to
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: grow because healthcare is something that they haven't just come
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: in and dominated yet when you add the AI services
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: to healthcare.
