There's some...
states that you should never do business in.
So places that don't have what they call at-will employment, which means you can fire the person on that day.
You have a very different approach to industrial relations.
If you go to Texas or Florida, go to some place where you can basically tell the person to bugger off and don't come back again.
They're really flexible states and people like setting up there.
California would be slightly different.
Yeah, California's bad, Oregon's bad, and there's a whole bunch of ones you run scared from, basically.
But then you also need to then – and democracy's very much done in the open over there, and as an Australian, it feels a little bit dirty and grotty.
So I've been on Capitol Hill and lobbied – As in Washington?
In Washington, yeah.
I've gone and lobbied, you know, elected representative staffers over there dozens of times.
You sign in, it's all open, there's a register.
You go to the guy who's the Florida or the Texas representative, and if you put a factor in his district, he will work to get your line item thing written into the US defense budget.
It won't mention you by name, but it looks like you're the only person who can deliver that because it's written so tight that it actually fits your specifications.
So he will lobby to do that.
And it's all done in the open.
As an Australian, it feels bloody corrupt, right?
Yeah.
No, it's just how you do business in the US.
