And so how do you, you know, approach that? And maybe you could just cover what your office is doing and how you address these sorts of issues.

Yeah, I think it's a good point.

We have an opinion at our office, and I think it is something we feel here at the SEC throughout that investing is for everyone or almost everyone as part of their financial planning and their financial journey.

It is more accessible than it's been ever before.

And we have all kinds of innovations and marketplace developments, I think, to thank for that, in addition to a situation where we have people responsible for more and more of their long-term expenses.

So whether that's retirement or education or just saving up to buy a home.

And there's a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and interest in personal finance.

And then other parts of the government, maybe you can sort of summarize this as well.

But talk, talk about what prompted you to, to set up the Mass Afghan Alliance.

Absolutely.

So, uh, when Afghanistan collapsed, when everything came tumbling down on August 15th, 2021, uh, I was sitting at home.

I had been done...

I was almost done with the army.

I had just retired, actually, uh, from the Army Reserves, so I was out of the army at the time.

I had done my time in Afghanistan.

Uh, so talk a little bit about how Mass Afghan Alliance is helping veterans use their voice to, to oppose these policies.
