Okay, many a time down. It was the federal government, Congress was supposed to be taking care of the running of DC and they ended up creating some officials for it, but then the officials weren't doing the job. They ... What was it? Oh, if you go to the police union and the higher ups in the police department, they're happy that they're finally being backed up. I mean, back during the Floyd Riots, there was a lot of looting and burning and crime going on in DC and the police were the ones that were getting in trouble for trying to stop it. They have a recruitment problem because they knew that the government, their local government didn't have their backs to the point where they've got a $25,000 recruitment bonus, and they're still having problems. They're way understaffed. The police are actually pretty happy, pretty stoked about what's going on right now. They're happy that they actually get to do their job and that their job is actually going to mean something. I don't think it's a police state. They're just coming in there and giving the police the backup they need. They don't get to carry guns or the military or anything like that. They don't get to carry guns or anything major like that. If you've got some people in the military standing around, you're less likely to commit crimes than if they weren't standing around making their presence known. The Internet's in most situations. If you got people there, people are less likely to commit a crime in front of somebody else unless they know they can get away with it. Now that they can't get away with it, anybody that looks like they're in authority, they're going to be hesitant. That's going to be bad for the criminals and good for the people. I think it's a good thing. That's how I feel about the police what's going on there in DC.
