While you guys are talking about this with labor shortage, there's two stories I'm going to read to you.

And you tell me what direction we should go with this.

So one story, Ford comes out, CO4, Jim Farley, says he can't fill 5,000 mechanic jobs at $125,000 a year salary, $120,000 a salary.

We're in trouble in our country.

Rob, if you want to play this clip, go forward.

As of this morning, we had 5,000 openings, a bay with a lift and tools, and no one to work in it.

Are you kidding me?

No. $120,000 a job a year, but it takes you five years to learn it. Take a diesel out of a

super duty. It takes a lot of skill. You need to know what you're

doing. And God forbid we ever get in a war, Google's not going to be able to make, you know,

the tanks and the planes. So this is a self-defense for a country issue. But how I think about it is

if we work together. Wow. He could just pause it right there, by the way. Did you just hear what he just said?

He said, if we go to war, who are they going to go to to say, can you build this XYZ for me? They're not going to go to Google. They're not going to go to Apple. They're going to go to these guys. And it takes how many years he said to train to take a diesel? That's five. That's it, right. Master your training.

Master mechanic. And by the way, he said it earlier when you said about education early on in the first three minutes.

But go ahead. take a diesel five that's it right master you just training master mechanic and by the way he said

it earlier when you said about education early on in the first three minutes but go ahead you

were going to say something that is the whole problem right there what he's saying is that if somebody

has to invest five years of their time and likely huge expense to become a master mechanic so yes

they're they're promising a hundred and twenty thousand job, but somebody has to invest their time,

effort, and money to become qualified. And people do not want to take that risk. Okay. So this

is coming to my next question, okay? And I want to know what the solution is. So if we have a labor

shortage, if we have companies like Ford that are sitting there saying, hey, man, I need 5,000 people at 120, I'm having a hard time.
