And, you know, during that time, I've gotten to know a lot of customers and made friends and a lot of really nice people out there. And you know, last few years, I've been seeing them struggle quite a bit. Things are getting slower, it's not only selling again, that kind of thing. But because my company is losing, in the world of this, $4 million a day in tariffs. $4 million a day, that's $4 million in tariffs. And we sell like 60% of this product is sold by us. We have a monopoly on this product. But I honestly believe it's because of the service that we always give in our customers. The product costs, but we get it to them free of charge. That's another thing is, we always, on the tariff table, we always ran right at the red line. We didn't gain, we didn't lose, we were kind of like a nonprofit organization. And it was a service that was added to the product. So anybody can get it as quickly as possible. It wouldn't cost them any more than any other company out there that actually makes these kids with artificial disabilities. So I found out that their solution to the $4 million tariff charge they're getting on a daily basis, which is, we operate five days a week, so that's over $20 million a week. That's a lot of fricking money, man. They decided that they're going to start shutting down VCs. And that service that we've performed for the last, well, maybe before I even got there, in the 40 years plus, is not going to be there anymore. For the majority of the country, at least parts of the country where there's just not enough freight. So I know we're kind of shutting down Memphis, or shutting down Oklahoma. Our company, my VC, is they're going to be taking all the slow routes and shutting them down. So we're going to be four or five drivers and they're going to be missing their job. And this is their solution. They're just trying to cut back costs. So instead of raising the costs to customers, they're going to just shut down a whole bunch of places and lay off a whole lot of people. And hopefully that'll get them back where they need to be. So new stockholders and CEOs and big leagues of the company. Dickshire Hathaway, by the way, you know, so. Anyway, I just, I was kind of just amazed when I heard that news yesterday. So I don't know what's going to happen. I think I'm most senior there by 20 years. So I'll probably be one of the last to leave, but I just find it incredible that this is their solution. I can't blame them. They got to do something, you know, 4 million a day is not chump change. So anyhow, back to Met Control, KB0MAI.
