Yeah, well, if you look behind me, we've got these trophies. All these companies who've had woke policies and DEI over the past eight months, we've just been exposing all of these crazy policies and major corporations. And as a result of our activism, these companies have been rolling back these policies.

So the two you see behind me were the first two that we took on, which were Tractor Supply and John Deere.

Those were incredibly successful test cases that proved our thesis that because the Overton window had shifted so wildly in the George Floyd 2020 era, that if you just injected a little bit of sanity and you started with the companies that primarily relied on consumers in red states, you would slowly be able to shift that Overton window back, and it worked.

So at this point, we've shifted companies. We started with those ones like Tractor Supply and John Deere, but now we're at the point where we just shifted McDonald's and Meta and Accenture and Walmart and Nissan, Toyota. So we're shifting these big companies now that really serve everybody just to bring them back to a place where sanity once again rules the day.

Yeah, no, that's fair. I think it's, you know, sort of the window of acceptable conversation is, is, is the simplest way to put it, you know, and, you know, we had entered this year after George Floyd, where really, you know, everybody was terrified of being branded a racist in the corporate world.

And also I think beyond the corporate world, that's why you had people tripping over themselves to post black squares on their, their pages, you know, and, and, In the same token, same reason that we've got a majority of the country that if you ask them how many black males are killed every year by police, they don't get remotely close.

The number is typically under 30. And when you have that sort of disparity in just the facts, it tells you that there's a level of conversation and the truth that's not happening because people are afraid to have it. And so it's important to bring it back to a place where we're making decisions based off of merit, off of actual analytical facts, off of the statistics.
