I think just to start with the the last one on waste management and and trash.
0:54:02
That is very much an area of of focus.
0:54:07
One of the things that NICE is working on.
0:54:09
And again, we were speaking earlier.
0:54:12
My colleague was talking about IT roadblocks and overcoming
Gale A. Brewer

I heard that.
0:54:15
Yeah.
0:54:15
I heard that.
Neil Barofsky

0:54:16
And so I think that's an area where we're really working with NICE is it's in the progress in the process of of launching a inspections program to deal with identifying when trash trash and other waste issues are there and then automating a response.

So the automated automates a work order, and so it can be promptly addressed.

Trying to bring a little bit of the 21st century into addressing these issues.
