Yeah, I, I mean, I think those are all good points and it, it definitely seems like an uphill battle to get this program underway and going. But, you know, next on the docket is changing fee recommendations for solid waste. Like, there, things are gonna change and evolve, and I just would like to see it. I'd like to see us take a step forward, and this feels like taking a step back and charging the fee, the $5, a percent of whatever. I don't know that having the right mechanism in place or the right fee is the most important part of it right now.
