7:21 pm
a lot of these subsidies weren't going to the right people. a resign i every time they go about subsidies, people are the bridge. people will get the benefit from that. but we cannot the pickup is because of the assumption if you would like the point of which, but to get to obtain the subsidies just like the people we have to like, i mean the money story in, in, in the gas station you just have to put more control in it, like you, you want to get station. so the people, i mean, the rich people cannot get the subsidies. but when you click on the big blue people, the people will, that will be affected more because not only affected how they will get it, they get it in or, or diffuse what will face consumption as well because the
