And, uh, you know, what role does politics play in the fact that I think that they were saying like 25% of Walgreens drugstores are closing, you know, I mean, like you got all this stuff, you know, what does politics play in that? How is that going to affect the health of the community?

How does that affect people in, uh, how does politics affect the communities in rural Minnesota, rural, rural, rural counties around, around the, uh, Around the country, you know, I mean, it's it's pretty, pretty unclear. You know, I think that there is a there is a pie in the sky kind of of reality. I mean, pie in the sky kind of thinking about what we what we're supposed to have.

And then there's the root cause, like it's not there because the politics or the will of the community or the will of the government is not there. And so we're caught in that space right now where people are really trying to figure out what is real? You know, what can I really expect from my government now? I mean, you know, and again, we get into this fake news stuff.

I mean, it's messing with my mental health. Yeah. I think for a lot of folks, it's best with their mental health. And so for me, what I do, I cut off TV. I don't want to hear it no more. Let me kind of struggle through or do whatever I got to do. But anyway, so that's my initial thought about what do we want? What would I want?

I would want appropriate access, but that's not always available for me or for anybody else.

Yeah. With that help. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's interesting. I think it would. I know that I've talked with a lot of people about single payer plans. But, you know, as you were talking, Stan, and again, this is my looping brain here. I thought politics, confusion equals money. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Politics, confusion, evil is money. So, you know, there's a certain amount of, and again, this is my thinking, is that there's a certain amount of, I shouldn't say value, but there's a certain amount of gain with a lot of this stuff that we're seeing

I think it would be very helpful for us as a nation to be able to have, as you just said, have access to be able to go in and to get the kinds of services that we need. But unfortunately, money always plays a part. Money always plays a part. It's interesting, Barry, you were talking about when you started. I remember when I was younger, My doctor came to my house.

And you know what? The thing, too, is that I think when we think about politics, we have this view of just government kind of things, but there's corporate politics, too. Oh, God, yes. That's what I'm saying is that, you know, and so sometimes there is a collaboration or a coordination between the corporate and the governmental entities, which can affect our health.
