And, uh, just to add to your point, I think one of the things we look at is, um, that money stays in Alaska. Uh, it'll provide an economic boost to, uh, a community in a, in a low period, which I think an economic diversity for Western Alaska and a lot of the rural communities. I know When we travel to Cordova or to Ketchikan, we're providing an economic boost to those communities, increasing exposure for them. And I think we are providing an overall benefit to the state, especially in areas not as well served as Anchorage and on the rail belt. Thank you.
