I will tell you that if we just decide that we are going to evaluate based on what's on social media, I can tell you that I never anticipated that the Shade Room would pick up on this, but they did. And There were stories not only from my district, because there were people there were saying thank you to my congresswoman, because this has been an issue for me and my loved one at the Dallas va, but there were people from all over the country that talked about surgeries that have been canceled, and they have been canceled because they said that they did not have adequate personnel. So my deal is, if that's the truth, then prove me wrong. I am here for it. But I will tell you that as a trained litigator, I usually don't ask questions that I don't already have the answer to.
