Absolutely. You know, I think about stressors. You know, what causes these things? And, you know, it's just like, you don't have to think very far. It's just like going to an airport today is a completely different story than... years ago. I distinctly remember meeting our friends, loved ones, whatever, at the gate. At the gate, yeah. At the gate.

And you would walk into the airport, go down to the gate, thank you very much. Now, as good as air transportation is, it gets you there quicker. In my estimation, that's the only advantage. Otherwise, the whole episode of just like going to an airport and navigating all this stuff and going through security, etc., etc., is a stressor. It really is a stressor.

And, you know, for many people, they can't handle it. I've heard people say, I'm done traveling by air. just as an illustration. So stressors is one thing. The other thing, and Maddie, you brought this up, is panic attack. I had a panic attack. I've only had one in my life, and it's when I had a detached retina in my eye, and it just put me over the edge.

And let me tell you, physiologically, when you have a panic attack, you know, from a high level of stress, it really does something to you. And when you get over it, you remember that stressor. You just remember it. It becomes like almost part of your psyche going forward. And hopefully that's a way that your body that copes with things similar to that going forward Yeah, Clarence.

You know, our excellent researchers put together some what I think are some really interesting things, like 55% of Americans are stressed during the day compared to the global average of the number of stressed people is 35%. So what the heck is going on in the United States compared to other places in the world? I mean, what's going on here?

You know, it's interesting because I want everybody in our listening audience to say, don't get stressed out when you hear all of this. I mean, just because we're changing doesn't necessarily mean that that's bad. It's how we as human beings cope going forward that's a little different. But you bring up some interesting ideas, Brandon, you know, like housing.
