Yeah.
2:19:13
Thank you for that.
2:19:13
I think we were trying to distinguish earlier.
2:19:15
I think not many people realize the multi leveled, like, of thousands of square feet these facilities are until you see it.
2:19:24
Having thousands of truck idling inside a facility that you can't even see it outside the ones coming out every two minutes is astounding.
Damian Contreras

Yes.

When we had the rally in the Maspeth Building on Grand Street, Grand Avenue?
2:19:41
Mhmm.
2:19:41
Grand Avenue.
2:19:42
I was amazed of how many floors that facility has, not to mention the square footage, you know, so you multiply that by the floors.

They had a lot of trucks coming out of that facility.
