1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News. 2 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: Here's a thought experiment. Would you rather have more time 3 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: or more money? Generally speaking, I value time law. It's 4 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,240 Speaker 2: like you can accumulate money, but you cannot accumulate more time. 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: I do think that time continues to be more valuable 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: for me because I do have so little of it. 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: I think more money would help me with the immediate 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: basic needs. I think in the scheme of life, though, 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: you can't overseave the importance of time. 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: With people, time has always been money, but recently, consumer 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: goods makers and retailers are trying to sell people more 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: things that can give back their precious minutes and hours. 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 3: We've been seeing this emergence of products and services that 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: have come up in recent years that aim to help 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: people save time. 16 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Jawon King says these time saving products and services 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 2: often come at a premium price, and consumers they're paying. 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: Walmart, for example, they have, you know, a loyalty program 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 3: or a paid membership program called Walmart Plus, and they 20 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: offer an add on service called in Home where if 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 3: you pay extra, you know, forty dollars a year on 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: top of the one hundred dollars for the membership. You 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: can get someone to come inside your home and unpack 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 3: the groceries for you. 25 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: Wow, they go into your refrigerator and put things on 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: your shelves. 27 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, like you can you know, leave detailed instructions on 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: how you want your order to be delivered and they'll 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: have employees do that for you. 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: Frigidnaire is selling a seventeen hundred dollars pizza oven that 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: promises to cook restaurant quality pies in two minutes. LG 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: has come out with a high tech closet that costs 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: upwards of fourteen hundred dollars and will steam your clothes 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: for you. And at home depots annual showcase the Spring 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: where store managers get to preview the coming year's biggest products. 36 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: Devices that make chores easier were all the rage. 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 3: Like a plant terranium that you just have to water 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: like once a month or maybe once every two months. 39 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: Like quick cleaners where the heads rotate four hundred times 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: a minute so it helps you clean faster. 41 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: These companies are all tapping into something real. Inflation remains 42 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: a concern. The labor market is showing signs of weakness, 43 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: but people are tired. People like Lauren Ledux, a therapist 44 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: who lives in Massachusetts. 45 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: I will buy the service that allows me to be 46 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: comfortably settled into my life. I'm going to buy the 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: dice in hair dryer, even though it's stupid expensive, because 48 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: it's going to give me that extra twenty minutes in 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: the morning that I otherwise wouldn't have. 50 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: Even as many shoppers are cutting back on non essentials, 51 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: others are willing to spend a little more to make 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 2: their lives easy. 53 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: We've been writing for a few of years now about 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 3: how resilient consumers are despite all of these macroeconomic forces, 55 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 3: and we're starting to see them kind of behave differently 56 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: and think differently when it comes to saving their time 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: as well. 58 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: I'm Sarah Holder, and this is the big take from 59 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: Bloomberg News today on the show Buying Back Your Time, 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: paying the adulting tax, the Nope, not doing it fee, 61 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: the growing number of American consumers who are willing to 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: spend more to save time even in today's uncertain economy, 63 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: and the companies that are taking notice. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, 64 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: there are only a few things that are certain in 65 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: this life. Death taxes and having to do your laundry. 66 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: It's a chore that many of us would rather spend 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: less time doing, and that's why as companies try to 68 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: market new time saving tools. Bloomberg's Jawon King says one 69 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: GE appliance has been particularly popular. 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: The washer dryer combo units, where people can just throw 71 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 3: in their load of laundry and they don't have to 72 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 3: transfer anything after the washing is done. You just put 73 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 3: it in and you leave it, and after two hours 74 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: or so, it's done. That costs about two thousand dollars. 75 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: That's a significant premium over a basic washer and dryer, 76 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: but it's a premium that Ge was betting people would 77 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: be willing to pay. The origin story of this machine 78 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 2: is pretty interesting. Jay One says. At first, Ge wanted 79 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: to design a more energy efficient dryer that could help 80 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: people spend less on their energy bills. But executives realized 81 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: that people would pay to save time, so the company 82 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: changed course. Instead, it focused on redeveloping the combo unit. 83 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: A common complain of combo machines has long been that 84 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: they just don't dry very well. 85 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: To make it more targeted for the US consumer, I mean, 86 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: they've done work like making the machine's a little bit bigger. 87 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 3: You don't need the extra venting for it, and you 88 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: just kind of put it on and forget about it. 89 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean the consumers I talked to, they 90 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 3: haven't complained about the drying difficulties and. 91 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: The machine has been a hit. Ge has sold ten 92 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: times more than forecast, even after it increased production in 93 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Products that promise to streamline annoying tasks 94 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: aren't new. That's why we have self cleaning ovens, two 95 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: in one shampoo and conditioner. Even the combo washer dryer 96 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: has been around for a while, and gig economy apps 97 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: like Instacart and door Dash and task Grabit have been 98 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: selling convenience for more than a decade now. But Jaywan 99 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: says there's a growing body of market research suggesting that 100 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: the convenience economy is poised to out. 101 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: There was a twenty twenty four survey from Morgan Stanley 102 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: and it showed that people on average are willing to 103 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: pay about five percent more if it means that things 104 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: are going to be more convenient for them. 105 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: Five percent might not sound like a lot, but Jaywan 106 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: says even that small premium can be meaningful to companies. 107 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: In this market where companies are juggling and navigating through 108 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: a lot of different forces, whether it's tariffs or higher costs, 109 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 3: or the cautious consumer, you know, the challenges within the 110 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: job market. So I think people are trying to figure 111 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: out different areas of growth and different avenues of growth, 112 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 3: and this is presenting to be one of them. 113 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: That's so interesting. It feels almost counterintuitive. Right people are 114 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: stressed about money, they're seeing cracks in the labor market, 115 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: they're scarred by inflation, and yet they're willing to spend 116 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: more money on products that promise a certain amount of 117 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: time savings exactly. 118 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 3: And that's you know, one of the initial things that 119 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: sort of sparked our interest, which is that people are 120 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: trying to save money in every way they can. Like 121 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: we hear all the time from consumers about their buying 122 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: chicken instead of buying beef because it's cheaper and they 123 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: want to save money. But at the same time, here 124 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: we are seeing people pay up you know, extra however 125 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: many dollars to get something that they want in that moment. Yeah, 126 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: I think it's kind of intuitive and pretty interesting. 127 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 2: After the break, we talked to a behavioral economist about 128 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: why certain consumers are so willing to pay the time 129 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: saving tax, and what it says about the US is 130 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: increasingly bifurcated economy. 131 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 4: So people have always cared about saving time. 132 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: That's Dallas Matitsky. He studies judgment and decision making with 133 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: a particular focus on the ways people think about and 134 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: value time and money, and he teaches at the University 135 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania's Warton School. He says, as more products and 136 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: services offer ways to buy back time, it's becoming more 137 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 2: normal for people to use them. 138 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: What the gig economy is doing is it makes it 139 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: much easier to turn money into time on demand. Now 140 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: with a few taps, you can get a ride if 141 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 4: grocery is delivered, or you can even hire someone to 142 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 4: assembly of furniture. So that means that consumers are constantly 143 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 4: seeing opportunities to buy back time. So instead of time 144 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 4: saving products being a luxury that are built into everyday's 145 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 4: apps and platforms, it's probably more accurate to say that 146 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: the gig economy amplifies or normalizes these choices. It doesn't 147 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 4: create a desire to save time. It just makes time 148 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 4: saving options much more accessible and feasible. 149 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: And there was another turning point, a moment when this 150 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: trend started to accelerate. 151 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 4: I feel like the pandemic made people think about how 152 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 4: much valuable the time is. I think something happened during 153 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 4: a pandemic that people, a lot of people decided to 154 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: change a course of action of the pandemic, spend more 155 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: time with the loved ones, with family, with friends. 156 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: I'd rather have something done quickly and write the first 157 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: time if that means that I'm going to be doing 158 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: something more meaningful later with people that I love. 159 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: That's Lauren Ledux, the therapist who loves her dice and 160 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: hair dryer. 161 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: And I think that's also a product of COVID, because 162 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: so many of us experienced loss. If not like the 163 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: loss of a loved one, we experienced like loss of 164 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: time because we weren't spending time together. We were quarantined, 165 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: we were away from each other. 166 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: Now, several years out from the worst of the COVID pandemic, 167 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: the economy looks a little different. Inflation is still above 168 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: the fed's two percent target. The job market looks like 169 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 2: it's cooling. Consumer set has been at one of the 170 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: lowest points on record, though higher income consumers are still 171 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: spending so I asked Bloomberg's Jaywon king how paying for 172 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: time or convenience fits in with all that. 173 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we've seen the bifurcated economy this year for sure, 174 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 3: where the lower income consumers they are pulling back and 175 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: the higher income consumers they continue to spend. The spending 176 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: power that's been really resilient from the higher income consumer, 177 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: I think also speaks to this idea that we're talking 178 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 3: about where higher income consumers generally do have more comfort 179 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: and do have more cushion to pay up a little 180 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 3: bit more for convenience in time. 181 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: Jaywan says, young people and people making over six figures 182 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: are especially likely to spend money to save time. But 183 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: you also spoke with people who make a wide range 184 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: of incomes and there are those who need to budget 185 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: really carefully who are still willing to pay a premium 186 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 2: for time saving products. 187 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're really seeing it all across the board. 188 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: And there might be you know, variation in the demographic 189 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 3: based on the products or services. So if it's additional 190 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: five dollars or additional thousand dollars, we might see some 191 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 3: differences there. But in terms of this willingness to spend 192 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: and sometimes pay more for convenience is happening all across 193 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: the board. The fact that people consider time to be 194 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 3: more important today than they did even in twenty one 195 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 3: twenty two, I think speaks to this growing sort of 196 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 3: fatigue that everyone is feeling about having to be so 197 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 3: cautious about watching for price increases, having to be so 198 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 3: cautious about saving money, constantly reading news about corporate layoffs 199 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 3: across different sectors. The list kind of goes on and on, 200 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 3: and so, as you know, exhaustion sort of builds up, 201 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: and some people who still have score tissue from experiencing 202 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 3: inflation in twenty one twenty two, they feel like they 203 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 3: can and deserve to splurge here and there if it 204 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: means that they're going to feel a little bit better 205 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 3: about their stress and their daily lives. 206 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 4: I feel like that the fact that people are willing 207 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 4: to pay more for a convenience, it can either reflect 208 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 4: that higher incomes or more disposable money, which becomes more 209 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 4: acceptable to save an hour. But at the same time, 210 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 4: it can also reflect that people feel more time pressured 211 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 4: or overloaded. 212 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 2: Wharton's gals Matitski again. 213 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: If you'l day inspact spending money to avoid one extra 214 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 4: shore can feel less like a luxury and more like 215 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: a necessity. So the way I see it is it 216 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 4: is less as an indicator of clear economic indicator and 217 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 4: always a window into how people balancing these very real 218 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 4: trade offs between time and money. 219 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 2: As for Lauren, spending on convenience feels worth it so 220 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: she can use the time she gets more meaningfully. 221 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: I do think that there is something to that piece 222 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: of it that feels poignant in this sort of like 223 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: ready made consumer culture that at times feels a little 224 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: bit ethically blurry because it can feel really mindless. But 225 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: then I when I, like as a psychotherapist, was really 226 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: intrigued by the sociology of things, I'm also like, well, 227 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: why do we do that? It's not because we're all 228 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: just blind spenders who don't care what we have at 229 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: the end of the day. It's that there's less available 230 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: to us within this economy, and so how do we 231 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: maximize the most out of our time given what we have. 232 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: This is the Big Take from Bloomberg News.
