So I think there will be a lot of good news happening there. But I get people's frustration. I can tell you this though, These last three weeks have each been record setting weeks in terms of people applying for unemployment in Michigan. No time have we ever experienced anything like this. And so no, the system was not built for that. When people are calling and getting a busy signal, that means there's 1,000 people waiting in line to talk to someone. (05:28–05:36)
