Samara?

Thank you for that.

Yeah, John, as always, you summed it up.

I, I really am annoyed at the fear-mongering.

Yeah, I know we're getting these cuts, but bro, like it's ridicul- um, it's ridiculous how there's this politics at play.

You can't really have governance and politics and not have that.

I wanna say that doesn't exist, but politics and governance kind of go hand-in-hand, but sometimes that's used as a fear-mongering, bullying tactic such that so that when we make a certain decision, there is this influence that, "Oh, well, if you made that decision, then you're on so-and-so's side, or you're on so-and-so's side." And guess what? Whatever decision you, you make, especially when it comes to funding, it's gonna go up to supervisors, from supervisors, and then it goes...

Our, our final question before we get to the ever-popular lightning round, are there specific areas that, where, where you could use public input, where you could use the public coming up, having your backs, being more involved that, that don't get the attention that a lot of these other culture issues get? Something where you believe they do care and they, and it would help to have them step up.
