savanna, patricia, will open it up for questions and i have one over here. yes ma'am.[inaudible] thank you. i am curious what you think, your your personal thoughts on this google fiasco? if you don't know what i'm talking about they petted themselves on the back for closing their pay app and now they're being sued or investigated? nobody knows i'm talking about? do you know what i'm talking about, don't you? it's a thing chain. the reality is the issue around pay equity is something that is a huge problem that we face and it's pervasive. unfortunate, it's not just a google thing. it's in everybody thing. the problem is that it got worse this person at 1600 pennsylvania avenue just sign a an executive order which actually rolled back in order that president obama had in place which required at least government contractors to report how they paid women and people of color and everyone practically. it required transparency with regards to pay. that's really what it will take for us to attack pay equity. we need to make sure that companies can no longer hide under the vei
