And what's going on right now with the whole funding situation and sort of like targeting seems to be anything to do with health.

She may not have options for clinical trials for, you know, for her cancer.

And that's going to directly impact not only for her in terms of, you know, prognosis, but for many people across the board in terms of mortality and morbidity.

And I better stop there because I can keep going on, but I'll be quiet now.

Those are just a few.

Yeah, Barry.

Yeah, so I'm going to pile on a little bit with it with Aaron.

You know, here as well.

I think part of the problem is that at one level, people don't know what they don't know.

And the information they get is not very clear.

And so it's very easy for that to get distorted.

And so people may go down a track of supporting something or at least tacitly supporting something that if they had all the information in a clear way, they probably wouldn't support it.

That being said, I think what's going to wind up happening is that when people start to be impacted directly by these things, that's going to be the wake up call.

And I'll use Aaron's example of, you know, childhood cancer.

When that hits, you know, in a community and they start to see that with their neighbors or their own family, it's like going to be, you know, like, all right, what?

you know, what the heck is going on here.

So I think, and this is going to take time, clearly, for it to play out.

The other thing is that rural America is, in some ways, going to be even more impacted by all these things that are going on.

And at least, you know, demographically, that support for the current administration has been

you know, a lot more in rural areas.
