that I believe that bill is not good, man.
2:58:07
I I believe that bill is horrible because they needed why won't they just let anybody buy a bin they wanna get from Home Depot or Harvard Freight or Lowe's and put it on on a sidewalk?
2:58:17
If that works, they'll be in compliance.
2:58:19
But why would we have to buy one one container from a vendor that does business in the city?
2:58:24
I I think that's not fair for anybody else because I know there's way better bend way better bins out there from other makers.
2:58:30
You know what I'm saying?
2:58:31
Even they do they might do business in the city.
2:58:33
But why we have to buy one container from one vendor?
2:58:36
And if we're not we don't buy that one container, we're not compliant.

Why is that?
