or like what are story to other countries in read the main cause with our production. so the economy mismanagement political, incomplete sam adams and misguided policy. you know, like overnight chemicals fertilize the band. which is why, in addition to all these cars, i mean, we also have a looming, full try and, you know, currently, you know, i'm experiencing about that right now. so this is the state of things or data. right now. you've touched on it a bit dead. these, the stories of desperation and suffering, which is sort of veering into a humanitarian crisis. how is the situation affecting people? yeah, i mean, you're right, undeniably days. humanitarian data shortage of life, saving jobs and medical equipment. the majority of small businesses have completely
