And I got put in New York, but we got a piece of legislation stuck on a bill that got us back out of that. So we're back in Texas. So we are going to take on the big tech companies.

And then they're selling that to insurance companies. And then you get canceled and your insurance goes up because they're tracking every turn of your car, what time you're driving, how many miles.
