Right. And in California, we pride ourselves as being the seventh largest economy in the world. We rank up there with nations. We are very, very proud of that. But we cannot last long like that if we cannot even supply the basics. This is basic infrastructure we are talking about at an affordable price. When it is more affordable in any other State in the country, business will leave. It will drastically affect the economy of California. So these are the concerns that we have, of course, because being a Californian and those of us that live there, we care about our State and we want to make sure that we get through this reasonably well. But it has vast economic impacts.
