A bill where nobody gets paid during the shutdown? Specific. Yeah, that would be tough. Yes. I mean, I think it's the right thing to do. I think the actual right thing to do. There was a Senate bill by Chris Van Hollen this week that said that everyone furloughed, you know, whether it's the troops, whether it's, you know, employees who are working, everyone should get paid and certain programs should keep operating. And. And Republicans did not vote for that. So I think that's more. But, yeah, I agree with the viewer. You know, we should be getting paid during this time as others are struggling. (14:44–14:58)
