And full-time means that you get the benefits to have a full-time job. Right. And then with the government, that's one where that's actually reversing now. We've seen government jobs. So if you look at federal employment and I like to take the Postal Service out of that. So you're just looking at kind of the bureaucratic bloat in D.C. Right.

The Postal Service is thrown in with federal jobs, but it's really its own agency. I'm trying to I'm trying to look at just federal employees, ex-Postal Service. That's gone down every month this year.

You have to go back years. I mean, if you exclude COVID, right? Because COVID, everyone lost jobs for several months there. But if you exclude COVID, you have to go back years to find a time when the private sector was adding jobs this steadily while the federal government was laying folks off.

And then you talk to the Fed and they're all worried about everything. I mean, it's just, it's incredible. This really is all good news. Now, is it great news? No, I'm not going to come in here and say everything's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we should rejoice. We got into a very deep hole after four years of the Biden catastrophe, as you called it. It was horrible.

I think overall, yes. So one of the problems with things like taxes on tips is it costs the Treasury so much to enforce it that it basically equals the revenue they get out of it. So if the Treasury wants to get another dollar in terms of tip receipts, tax receipts, they have to spend a dollar to do it. I mean, it's a waste. You should get rid of the tax just for that.
