And everyone would be like, 0%, 0%. I would say legally, too. Right, right, right. A million dollars legally, like not go sell drugs, but a million dollars legally in the next 12 months.

And I said, hold on then. The timeframe didn't change. The goal didn't change. What changed is that you actually care. You actually have a why behind it.
