Vincent's and Francis Hospital in the poorest areas of the city. There are solutions, real solutions for these mental health patients. But not only absence of action, but a waste of funds. I just tweeted the other day about bullet train, right? How do we spend $13 billion without a single track being laid? And why do we even need it? So it's like, where?

Well, look, you know, when I bought the paper, I literally had no idea how a paper runs. I didn't even know what these rules were. You know, there's op-ed, opinion column, news reporter. You don't cross over from one side to the other side. And I asked people, show me the rule book, I think. Who wrote these rules? But okay. And I had normal Stein for about two years. And then COVID hit.

We had hired Kevin Merida. And unfortunately, I had no time then for the paper and let Kevin manage the organization as we hired. And with post-COVID and with the approval of our drug, I finally had some time to pay some attention. We're deep into the election between President Biden and President Trump and then Kamala Harris and Trump. And the time of endorsements was coming.

And this was October and I began to ask about how we're going about this. And I realized, just as you said, Have we become an echo chamber? And I just had to take some actions. And we didn't endorse Kamala Harrison. For that, I suppose, I became another racist.

Yeah, and it's even more difficult because of the unionization of it, you know. But I think now they're beginning to understand, you know, how papers have all now gone under. And we've supported this paper, and we'll continue, and I want to make it clear. I think this is too important, because I think there needs to be a voice for the public.

I'm going to break some news for you now then. So when I bought the paper, I saw we were approached by Washington Post that had this software that they do called Arc. And I looked at the paper software called WordPress. And I come from healthcare where the medical records is such a mess. And I said, this is as much a mess as the records.
