I just saw a screenshot from a post elsewhere that this was her babbling on. It makes perfect sense hearing it now. It was because she repeated the phrase “ROI” multiple times.

Kamala's hitting that ROI phrase to take a swing at the base of small business owners who may be socially liberal but generally more fiscally conservative; I think it is a brilliant move by her. These aren't giveaways, they are strategic investments with a documented history of positive returns. Using the technical term might make some folks think "okay, so she does care about costs, but she has done what I would do when buying a new machine- cash flow analysis."
