No, it's just an expression.
I don't know why your mind is going to deliverance.
You got deliverance on the brain.
Yeah, I get it.
I agree that we should fight it.
I'm not being fatalistic.
I don't think the outcome is predetermined, but I don't understand why it wouldn't get on the ballot, because that has nothing to do with how persuasive you and the opponents of BTA are.
It's just about whether SEIU, UHW will spend the requisite amount of money, $8 million, $10 million, $12 million, whatever, to gather the signatures, and
I mean, we've heard they have the money, right?
So why wouldn't they?
It only increases their leverage to demand more concessions.
Look, I'm not saying it's going to pass, although I do think it's probably slightly more likely than not to pass once it's on the ballot.
I just don't understand why it's not going to be on the ballot.
And once it makes the ballot in, let's say, April, I think there's going to be a big freak out and rush for the exits because there's a lot of people.
You're right.
This is my theory.
And so everyone is looking for a place to go.
Let me give you a data point on that.
There are other unions who weren't part of this ballot initiative who are preparing similar ones for 2028
And those ballot initiatives are going to be more bulletproof.
