And you've like been working on it for a year.

It's notable.

And you were talking about this earlier.

The ability to step back from your sunk costs and go in a different direction is in a weird sense the opposite of that, but also a crucial step here where I know like 21-year-olds or like 19-year-olds who are like, ah, this is not a thing I've specialized in or like I didn't major in this.

I'm like, dude...

You can definitely do this.

I'm like, how is it going?

And they say, well, you know, we need to do this thing which requires lawyers because it requires talking about this regulation.

It's like, how's that going?

I'm like, why didn't you get lawyers?
