AA4HI, thanks for joining us this morning, I hope to stick around for the 73 round. Usually I talk about why I'm asking this question, and one of the reasons that I ask this question is because I didn't think everybody knew anything about this. And the kind of major change it reflects. I had the privilege of growing up in the last 80 years, and that was the time of Pax Americana. After the Second World War, some very wise heads got together and pointed out that for the last 600 years all the major wars had started in Europe and is there a way to calm them down and what they figured out was if we say we're going to take care of you, they're less likely to rearm and we're less likely to have more wars. You may think of it as being ripped off and they're not paying for their own defense and stuff like that, but now they are rearming, and that's exactly the opposite thing I think we want. It's not good for us. It's not a national strategy to have a well-armed American in Europe. So that was the reason for them doing that, and this kind of flies right in the face of that. are the guys with more fare if they pay for their own stuff. If they didn't have enough stuff to start a war, we were better off. So we'll see what happens because there's nothing you can do about it now. Anyway, let's start the 73 round and we'll go to Bentley first, VE3FBX. Did you have fun on the net this morning, Bentley? And do you have any final thoughts for us? This is Casey 2, PKG. BE3FBX, always enjoy your net gray, it's entertaining as heck. No real final thoughts, hope everybody has a great day, try to focus on the positive. 73 y'all, BE3FBX.
