00:00Where I think we'll be is we'll have roughly about the same number of people we have today
00:04and we'll have a larger business. And so the business we think can continue to grow. It's
00:09a large economy. Fortunately, for the last several years, we've been gaining share.
00:13We're really focused on core retail. And specifically within jobs, there will be
00:18jobs that are created in the next 12, 18, 24 months that we don't have today. And that's
00:22been going on for decades. That will continue. The work will shift. What we're trying to do,
00:27and I think we're very confident we can do, is get people's time focused back on the items and
00:33the issues that are the highest value add for them and the things that are more repetitive or
00:38redundant might be another word. Let technology enable them so that they can be even more productive
00:43and we can serve more customers effectively. So five years from now, Walmart has fewer employees
00:50than it does today. I'm sorry. I know you don't want to envision that, but did that mean something
00:55went very right or very wrong? Yeah, I think it won't. I don't think we see a path of being
01:01lower than what it is today. I think it's just the work is going to change. The last few quarters,
01:08this last we were up just under 5%. And on a scale, adding 5%, 4% a year, we end up adding a lot of
01:15business each year. And so if you just think about outward from the out years, getting people in the
01:21position where they can do more enables them to take on different kinds of work.
