So I just wanna continue on that line, on the CFPB because given the firings there at the Federal Trade Commission, Have you tried to hire some of those individuals?
0:51:56
Because, no, in all seriousness, I mean, they're experts in consumer protection.

It would be great to reach out to them and see if they'll come work for the largest municipal consumer protection agency in the country.
Michael Tiger

Yeah.

I mean, we have a lot of colleagues and former colleagues that were working at these agencies.
0:52:13
So we're in touch with a lot of people.
0:52:14
And we have several open lines for consumer protection attorneys, and we have been in contact with people and encourage people to apply for those open positions.
0:52:24
But, again, I want to encourage all of you as well, if you have people that you know from your circles that were working in these agencies or have a touch point or newly invigorated passion for consumer worker protection due to what's happening in Washington, D.
