I think that there just need to be more, you know, this is like probably not the most charitable way to put it, but there just need to be more spines all around.
I think that there's a lot of like,

they are fragile and they exist in so much as we are willing to protect them.
And so if the people that are supposed to be standing guard aren't willing to do that, then it's a lot like speeding.
It's like, you're not supposed to do it, but I guess if you don't get caught, it's fine.

Oh, thank you.
