just. it's not perfect but i think it's there's been a genuine attempt by the company to do a really something that's useful and perhaps they're being too ambitious. quite frankly and in the company here he is being even over ambitious of about what they want to achieve for the people who've been moved. because you know this is. a stage where you can end up creating a dependency mentality. of an indian. you. use a federal issue. well the fight ever says that
