Were homeowners out there when you see that construction project that you want to tackle around your house and you're like how did that get so expensive. It's because that plumbing company that electricity is now making more than the schoolteachers are. Because guess what they went to trade school and they're in much more demand than those other people and free market prices means they're keeping those people employed and they're working to your house. You're the one that's paying for that and eric. You put it a good way. I've never really looked at it like that.
