So that minor emergency, the second, I put my drink on the floor so I could climb into the truck using three points of contact. And I forgot to put the drink in the cup holder. And when I went around the corner to get onto the freeway, the cup fell over. And I had to reach down and grab it safely so I wouldn't have an accident and I wouldn't have the Coke all over the floor. Luckily the lid's on there fairly good and it's got a straw in it. It's my own cup, so not a lot of Coke leaked out of it. And that was happening right when you were calling. So, minor emergency. I gotta check to see if... not too bad. But, back on the road. And, yeah, some of the stuff that they were talking about doing in New York with the rents and stuff like that, I mean that was something that happened, I think back in the late 70s, where they had, you know, they were telling the landlords how much they could charge and the landlords saying, Alright, well we can't afford, if you're gonna not allow us to recoup our losses, we're not gonna have the extra money to be able to keep these places up. And then you had, you know, the some lords and people that owned these buildings that weren't collecting enough money to be able to keep up with the maintenance and the upkeep on the properties. So, that's gonna be a problem if they try it again. Maybe they got some other way of dealing with that. They're also talking about having the states take over their groceries and control the prices. But then, there's gonna be people that, you know, sell the food that aren't gonna be able to make enough money to cover their costs for getting the food. So, they're gonna end up, whoops, let me grab one. You know, they tried that, I think it was Minnesota or, they tried it somewhere, and they were basically grocery stores that had a lot of spoiled and rotten food, and they were grocery deserts, and people had to travel outside of the state-run supermarket area in order to be able to get decent food. So, I mean, it just seemed like we tend to go back and relive bad ideas, and then they realize that they're bad ideas, and then the people turn around and broke them out and put something else in that, you know, is hoping to take care of the situation. So, it's, we're gonna have to wait and see what happens this go around. If he does get an office and he does put forth and do what he's been saying that he wants to do, he's kind of backtracked on the whole, uh, defunding the police, because he realizes, and he's been getting big, taking big hits on that, that when you defund the police and get rid of the police, crime rises, and, you know, the people don't like that. So, he's backing off on that. We'll have to see what happens, but, yeah, they're starting to embrace him in the party, and then, you know, it's one of the problems that the Democratic Party is having right now, is they're embracing the radicals in their party, and it's, you know, working against them in the general, because a general, a majority of the population don't like the radicals on either side. So, when one side starts embracing the radicals of their party, their popularity goes down. So, until they start working their way back towards the center, I see problems, but I see problems for both sides. But, I can always say we'll wait and see, because time will tell. All right, long enough. Back to the neck control.
