So these companies are trying to get out of liability by saying that...
Because it's a federal enclave, the local rules don't apply.
So we're trying to do policy change on that because the same rules should apply whether you're on a base or not.
You don't get to avoid the law because you happen to be on a military base.
Military families should not be protected less than other Americans in neighborhoods.
So there's good policy change, but I believe in the justice system, and I believe in the American juries.
The justice system is entrusted with enforcing the safety rules.
And it's about two things.
Compensation for people who have been affected by the negligence of somebody else.
But also deterrence.
And in America, we have a jury system for civil cases.
In Europe, when our founders came here, in Europe they had juries for criminal cases.
But here we said, no, we're going to do it for civil cases.
Because we want to entrust the people with enforcing these rules, with enforcing the safety rules.
So I love that system.
And I believe in it.
And I believe that
the American juries, the people, really care about enforcing the rules.
And I think if we can get these big cases in front of them, especially the military cases, it's gonna change.
It's gonna change the incentives.
