If you look at the CMS systems, if those systems go down for a day, you're already talking about the chance for a recession. So we don't take this kind of stuff lightly, and we never have.

I think that that's probably going to happen. But I think in a lot of cases, both the beauty and the tragedy is that the work the government does is largely invisible. You don't always know that it is USDA inspectors who are working in the slaughterhouses, who are making sure that work is being done in a safe and sanitary fashion. These people are oftentimes highly educated.

And they don't necessarily know that these people have lost their jobs or that food is going to be less safe until people get hurt or worse. And so we want to make sure that people start to understand what the cuts in these programs actually means.
