But but how do those lines cross, Mike, when you work with these open jobs and the need to get more people who maybe have skills in the game? I mean, where do those lines cross in your mind?

Sure, but there's two sides to this. I mean, I totally, totally see that. Totally see that. But then the other side would be the old thing we learned in capitalism 101, right? That, you know, when there's the supply and demand question, that's when wages are supposed to rise, right? So when you say that these kids are in the eighth grade that are going to fill these shovel-ready type jobs—

Well, then one would assume that your plumber, because there's not enough plumbers, can command more money to come and do the plumbing job. Now, obviously, if we all remember our econ classes and everything, there's a connection between that and inflation and everything else. It's like so. So I understand. It's like it's like if you gave the people at the Burger King restaurant.

Forty five dollars an hour to do their job. Your hamburgers are going to cost thirty five bucks. Right. Or something like in other words, everything is connected to everything else. So if we if we just take something aside and look at the justice question of this. Right.

Somebody who works all day long at a hard job loyally should be able to support health care and a place to live, although theoretically. Right. But if you actually were to mandate that, the unintended consequences that ripple through the system are terrible. So if we did it right, though, we could say something like, well, that's a minimum wage job.

You should you know, that's a rung on the ladder. But then the plumber should be making one hundred and seventy five dollars an hour if there's not enough of them. In other words, if it both if it all works right.
