Yeah, I mean, I think it's a real problem and I think they should get rid of it. I mean, this is this is not a problem for me because I didn't have a lot of wealth. But and look, I get it. If I was a millionaire, I'm sure I would like to think twice before taking a public service job if that meant having to divest.
