Because we don't want to, in my view, we don't want to just waste money that we don't have when we know we can't survive, right? But if we really think long term, then we'll start marshalling our resources. Boy, so you and I agree completely on this. And this is the message that I've been trying to send out for months is that people think it's going to end next month. It's going to end next month. But it doesn't end. And that's when the well, we run out of powder to use your term.

And then we're in big trouble. So you got to hold some of the powder back so that you have the resources to seize it when the market's disruption starts to subside. And that's what worries me is that as an industry, we're disposing our resources now when we don't have the opportunity to dig out and we're going to run out of those resources.

So I really think that that federal government program now is very important.

I think the PPP program help our industry hugely.

I'm sure you agree.

Absolutely.

I think that there's some inventory credit programs from the feds tax-wise that could make a lot of sense.

Restaurants are going to have to invest substantially in inventory.

And certainly from the supply side, the farmers want us to do that and the distributors want us to do that.

So I think that that's really important.

And I think if the federal government stepped up with a revised PPP plan so we could get

some payroll stimulus and some type of an inventory credit to get us going, I think that it would

make a huge impact.

And I'm worried because they're not talking about these things now in Washington.

I don't want to share someone else's thoughts.

I want to create my own original thoughts.

I want to create my own original solutions.

I want to look at situations and come up with my own phrasing, my own words, and do it my way.

This is the John Taffer podcast.

Shut it down. Ooh, shut it down. We're just starting. Hello, everybody. Well, I'm still sitting in my house here in Las Vegas, but it's actually a pretty good week, Corey. Things are going pretty well. It is. It's just hot. Hot as hell. So it's about 115 degrees here. I drove to hit a strip yesterday, Corey, when I was down at the strip, the thermometer in my car said 121 when I was driving on the strip.

I mean, you're scared your car is going to break down at any moment.

You don't exactly drive around 120 degree weather with a lot of confidence.
