I just like you're targeting a subsidy of people that use public transport. So how can you make it more narrow than that? You oh, it's a subsidy for every second person that uses public transit. Like, what are you talking about? Like, I'd be sitting there just rattling off going, hey, hey, look, Jack, this is a policy that has so many spin-off benefits for people. It gets people out of their private cars. There's less cars on the road, there's more parks available. You know, it it it lessens our reliance on fuel. And at the end of the day, it is going to make mean that there is more money left in workers' wallets at the end of their week than they currently have, and they will take that money and they will spend it in in their communities, they will spend it in their hospitality businesses, they will buy more groceries and make sure that the kids are fed. Where is the downside, Jack? Like, if you're gonna spend 64 million dollars, show me something that is going to benefit workers and the economy to this degree.
