Like, I'm on these stations and I'm kind of all entered into the list. I'm just missing the flight. I think I got the right, I think it's KJ5 and Lex. But we just got done with the first one on the list. And we're getting ready to pass the chat after making the comment. But the list is all updated and ready for you. And with that, I'll say that, yeah, they went back in the East. Got rid of the middle institutions. They studied in the East, something like that. That's what caused the people to have to go out on those streets. They couldn't function in the East. They didn't have a place to camp. They just left them on the street. That's because they thought it was going to be less cruel than having them in the institutions. So they couldn't have freedom. Because, you know, even previously, camped as a result wasn't less cruel. It wasn't even more beneficial for them to be in a controlled environment. But the reason why they also put down the middle institutions is because there was a lot of problems. There was a lot of other things going on in there. So it's got to be something. It's got to be something that I have to eat. But I think everyone who works with it is not the same. Some people kind of have to listen for it. And I agree with Evan. There's a lot of money that's been spent on it. It's always the same. We always have the same kind of homeless people. They throw at it. There's got to be some kind of solution. That's the question. What is the solution? And I like to say, every country starts with it. Because there's just certain people that have that mentality that don't want to do anything like they did. Like I said, if the girls are dead, they just want to go out and do what they want to do. So, Hollywood, come up. We're going to go over to the park. And, uh, you can see the zipline. Yeah, excuse me. I think it's fine. Go ahead, Chad. I did not know if you were just a kid or a pro at the time. Good morning, Bill. Everybody on the net. And I just traveled along probably, I don't know, less than 20 minutes from my job this morning. And I heard John here. So I just wanted to check in. Say hello. I'm Kevin VanLax, and I heard him. And, uh, you know, a couple years ago, maybe two years ago, I found myself really frustrated with politics. You know, I listen to the news, and I have it on. I have it on in the living room, let's say. And I get so frustrated. And, you know, my wife would be like, you know, would you put your tongue down? And, uh, you know, so in the last couple years, I've tried to just turn it off. I still picked up some highlights, you know, here and there, just to kind of be aware of what's going on. Try not to get into it like I did. And, uh, so, you know, I've been hearing a little bit about what's going on in Washington. Probably not enough to have a conversation about it. But, you know, I know, uh, not here in Austin. You know, I live right outside of Austin. And, you know, every year the tax dollars that they're pulling in for the homeless, I mean, we're talking major money. And, uh, each year it seems like nothing helps. You know, I feel like the flesh is being scanned. Because of the places that are the homeless population. Still there, just getting greater. Uh, I love you, let me drop. Uh, you know, I'm not saying anything to read, but in a lot of cases, you know, there are a lot of dangers. We, uh, we've got a lot of, you know, not forests, but flooded areas around Austin. And, uh, you know, a lot of the homeless that you see at these camps, they start fires. We've had a couple of fires over the past, you know, ten years, let's say. Uh, you know, started by these homeless campfires. You know, I know, uh, you know, going down to Austin, which I don't do very much anymore. But going down, you know, to seeing how there's nothing on that Friday, Saturday night. Uh, there's a lot of mental health issues that you see. And, uh, you know, I feel like that, uh, you know, I think John earlier said, hey, you know, when you arrest these people, you give them an opportunity to, uh, you know, get some help. Uh, you know, a hospital type of environment. Um, uh, you know, you know, arrest them, they can't pay their bonds, you know. It's, uh, I can't get the issue, it's a real issue, I don't know. But, uh, anyway, you know, today's the first day of my daughter's fifth grade. And my wife's going back to school as a teacher for the first day. So those are my big concerns for today. And, uh, we had a great morning, uh, starting off our first day of school. So, uh, that's, uh, success-free today. So, anyway, I don't know if I can make it in for a second round if, uh, we have one. But, uh, right now we're really getting close to work. I'll pass it back to you, good to hear you, Bill. And everybody have a great day. This is KJ5FON.
