The details coming up in the skinny on this tuesday, july 30th. Did she realize announcer from abc news this is world news now with john muller and diana perez. All right. Were going to jump right in on this tuesday morning. We begin this half hour with breaking news. A Central Florida town rocked by one explosion after another. Erupting at a gas plant overnight. Propane tanks turning into fireballs by the hundreds in tavares, shooting flames so high in the air they could be seen miles away. There are at least seven injuries, four critical. 15 workers reported missing have been found. The surrounding area had been evacuated. Heres what the Sheriffs Department told reporters earlier this morning in an interview. Well, apparently they store the propane cylinders in different parts on the property in different areas of the plant. And as the fire continued to spread, there were more and more explosions, as you said, pretty recently actually. So that just really obviously presented some challenges for the fire personnel to get in and get it contained and under control. At this point we dont feel that anyone else no one else is no longer in danger. The evacuation is still in effect for the half mile radius. But at this point we dont feel that anyone is in immediate danger from the fire. We have no reported injuries from anyone in the surrounding neighborhood. All the injuries we have been made aware of are from those that were actually at the plant working tonight. John, you said 15 unaccounted for. Is there anything being done at this point to try to find those people . Is that possible at this point . At this point, the Fire Department, fire personnel theyre doing what they can on scene, and theyre reaching out to obviously relatives and acquaint tanss of the people. Right now their main concern is containing the fire, containing the scene, making sure that no one is in danger at the scene and the surrounding neighborhood are safe. Thats their primary concern. What do you tell people who live nearby who might be fearful this could get started again . I would tell them the Fire Department has numerous resources on scene and theyre working very diligently to get this contained, get this under control, and im getting updates pretty much every 10, 15 minutes from them. So far it looks like at this point it is contained. I dont want to say that and give anyone false sense of hope. So were just waiting to see how they proceed. So just turning now to the meme who were injured, we know that at least six of them were taken to nearby hospitals. Five air lifted. One taken by ambulance. All of them were told with severe burns. We did speak to an eyewitness earlier who told us that hundreds of propane tanks are at this plant. As this erupted, you could hear them popping off into the sky, so powerful, this explosion, it blew the roof off the plant. Pallets and pallets of these propane tanks the kind you use on your backyard barbecue. I have used it, a blue rhino tank. I have used blue rhino in my barbecue. Many of you probably have. The big concern, 15 people unaccounted for. Evacuations still in effect. About a mile around that area. Tavares, by the way, is in northwest part of, northwest of orlando. Not very far away. But, not, a big population area. But nothing like orlando. Small enough town. But northwest of orlando. Not too far away from there. Onemile radius has been evacuated. But as far as five miles away people are claiming they could see not only the fireballs in the air, but also hear it and feel vibrations of the explosions. Every time one goes off you hear the pop and see the big flash of light. Thats true. Well, of course, follow this story and bring you the very latest. Now well turn to other news of the day. Another headline this morning. The popes surprise comments about gay priests. These remarks during an impromptu News Conference as pope francis was returning from brazil. Abcs jeff zeleny here in new york with more. Good morning, jeff. Good morning, guys. I mean it really was an unusual scene aboard the papal plane. For a while it seemed the vatican was unplugged. Pope francis did what none have done. He stood in front of reporters for 1 20 taking questions and turned serious on an issue that has confronted many of a divide in this church. Reporter pope francis opened a new era of compassion towards gays on monday saying priests shouldnt be judged or marginalized for their sexual orientation. As he flew back to rome after celebrating world youth day in brazil, the popes words in italian rippled around the world. [ speaking Foreign Language ] if someone is gay and he searches for the lord and has good will, whom am i to judge . Those comments didnt change catholic doctrine. But signalled an olive branch from the peoples pope. It was a different tone than we have heard from the vatican. I thought it was pastoral and compassionate. Reporter the overture only narrowly addresses homosexuality but still it was striking. His predecessor benedict called gays objectively disordered. John paul ii said homosexual acts were against natural law. Archbishops and bishops always take their lead from the pope, and the fact that the pope is trying to be more welcoming is a great step forward. An issue dividing american catholics. As a catholic i am happy to hear that sort of thing. Being a lot more open and accepting. Of people of all different backgrounds. I am definitely open to it. The book says it is an abomination. Reporter the pope also extending his hand to divorced catholics saying they can receive sacraments. And women saying theyre more important than bishops and priests. And for a church long beset by scandal, the tone of humility from pope francis is the latest sign that a new age may be dawning for the catholic church, an attempt to energize and fortify the faithful. John, diana. Interesting. Quite a different tone from pope francis. Really its a remarkable change in tone. But not necessarily a change in dogma. John, you are right. The tone was a significant thing here. Many popes before him have not used the word gay. The fact that pope francis, he calls himself the peoples pope, really with those five word, who am i to judge . He set the tone of a different type of style here for the church. You are absolutely right. He did not address the core issues of homosexual acts being against the churchs policy and doctrine. If we are not changing doctrine, we are not changing policy, what is pope francis trying to accomplish for the church here . One thing, trying to accomplish, to build on what he was doing in brazil at world youth day. Speaking to 3 Million People. He knows the church is in trouble in terms of shrinking population. He is trying to put a new face on the church. Vatican experts say this is significant what the pope does trickles down the line here. The change in substance and tone is likely to have quite a big effect. And it is dividing catholics. A lot of catholics we talked to, today, said that some were in favor of this. Others were not. So a controversy nonetheless. Going back to brazil. What a reception he got there. No question about it. 3 Million People on the beach, celebrating mass on copacabana beach. Not a bad place to be. True. Abcs jeff zeleny, thank you so much for that. Thank you. All right, jeff. Brandnew poll showing 53 of new York Democratic voters say it is time for Anthony Weiner to get out of the mayors race.

Now to a battle nearly as epic as that of david and goliath. An oregon woman spent years fighting the credit giant equifax after she noticed mistakes on her Credit Report. Now two years after launching the battle, she is a big, big winner. Heres abcs chief Business Correspondent rebecca jarvis. Reporter julie miller says eight times between 09 and 2011 she contacted Credit Bureau equifax, filling out reams of paperwork, even highlighting their mistakes. But even after all that, she claims they still never corrected the errors. All kinds of incorrect information, like 40 debt collector information and incorrect Social Security and birth date. Reporter for two years her Credit Report listed erroneous accounts and collection attempts, problems she says she discovered only after she was rejected by a bank when she wanted to open a new account. We did put some of the things off that we had planned to do during this phase because we couldnt get credit. Reporter but what makes this story different from so many others with similar complaints is that a federal jury in oregon has just awarded miller 18. 6 million, one of the biggest settlementser. Equifax wouldnt say whether it disputes millers claims but told abc news we are very disappointed in the jury verdict and exploring our options. Experts say equifax will appeal. Miller hopes this is a wakeup call. It can really affect your, your credit and your scores and your life. Reporter if that isnt enough of a wakeup call this should be. One in four Credit Reports contain errors according to a recent study. Remember everyone is entitled to a free Credit Report every 12 months. Dont forget to get yours and then, of course, check it. Rebecca jarvis, abc news, new york. The first one to roll my eyebrows when somebody gets a ton of money for nothing. That is ridiculous. I am really happy about this one. This woman tried and tried and tried, according to the legal case, to get this rectified. The company didnt do it. Everybody has felt powerless dealing with a giant bureaucracy. Maybe this will send a message. Youre right. And not only that weighed on the jury. The jury, her attorney. Probably realized she didnt go running to the courthouse she actually tried for two years with the company and called back and stayed on the phone and did everything they asked her to do. She wasnt able to get this credit and it affected her in ways we didnt hear there. She couldnt get a line of credit for her brother, couldnt help her husband band open up a shop. Her brother had a disability. Gigantic corporation made any body go on in a circle of endless futility. Hope they saw that. I hope you are paying attention. Hope they saw that. Still to come.

At least seven workers had to be rushed to the hospital with burns. Amazingly two people escaped unharmed. 15 people unaccounted for have since been found.

As you said pretty recently, that obviously presented challenges for the fire personnel to get in get it under control. All of the injuries we have been made aware of are from those actually at the plant working tonight. John, you said 15 unaccounted for.

[inhales] well, have a good one. Youre a nice lady. Thats what i want thats what i want all right. The golden arches. Golden when it comes to sales. New numbers show mcdonalds still wears the fast food crown. The chains 2012 sales were more than 36. 6 billion. Thats more than subway, wendies, burger king, and chickfila combined. Subway came in second on the list of sales. Well below what mcdonalds made. The sandwich chain made 12 billion. Craving cheeseburgers and fries. Wow. But the big sales dont translate into big pay checks for workers at mcdonalds or fast food chains. Most of them start at minimum wage. Here in new york city the fast food worker makes an average salary of 11,000 a year and they say that is just not enough. Abcs lana zach shows how theyre making their voices heard. Reporter fast food workers are leaving the line, protesting wages they say are unlivable. I walk out today with my head up proud my head up high. Reporter these workers are demanding a pay raise to 15 an hour, more than twice the federal minimum wage of 7. 25. We cant survive on 7. 25. Its impossible. I go to work every day. Faithfully. But i get nothing out of it. We cant survive on 7. 25. Reporter increased wages are often passed on to the consumer. 44 of americans visit a fastfood chain every week. So for everybody at home trying to figure out how they feel about this protest, whats the bottom line for them . The question for them is how do you feel about that person standing across the counter from you. Would you be willing to pay more for your meal so they could get a higher wage . So we asked. Most people on the street said they would pay a little extra. The truth of the matter is the economy never grows if people dont make more money to pour into the economy, so im all for paying people what theyre worth and fair wage so i that can survive. Reporter most consumers didnt seem to let the protest keep them away from their big macs. Still business as usual at other locations. There is no shortage of diners or workers at this mcdonalds. Industry experts say with the unemployment level so high, it is quite easy for them to find other workers to step in when striking workers step out. Lana zach, abc news, new york. Here is a staggering stat. The federal minimum paige of 7. 25 when adjusted for inflation is 22 less than it was in 1968 and 7 less than it was just in 2009. So minimum wage now is way, way poorer than it used to be. Thats right. A lot of people are saying what happens if we give these people a living wage . If we double their salaries. How is that going to affect my big mac, my next meal at mcdonalds or burger king or anywhere else, fast food chains. Because now it is affordable for people to go to the places. People who dont make a lot of money thats where they turn to, when they need a meal, quick meal. According to the huffington post, a study, your big mac will increase 68 cents if they were to double the salaries of people that work at mcdonalds.

Im going to let the people decide. The latest polls and political analysis right here this morning. Then behind bars. The tv drama, orange is the new black.

And this is a hit show you cannot watch on conventional or table tv. Its tuesday, july 30th. Announcer from abc news, this is world news now with john muller and diana perez. Good tuesday morning. A busy morning. Well get right to it. Were beginning with breaking news out of Central Florida. Tremendous series of explosions at a gas plant overnight sending flames and smoke high into the air. Police in tavares say at least seven of the workers were injured. There were reports that 15 were missing. They were all found. Large propane tanks began exploding before 11 00 last night. The force of the blasts blew the roof off this plant and a onemile radius right now surrounding the scene has been evacuated. A woman living in a nearby town said she could see the flames seven miles away. When you first got down to the lake to see it, the sky was completely orange and the clouds were all lit up, and you could hear the explosions just, you know, one after another, and then after it would explode, a fireball would shoot up into the sky because the propane plant there were hundreds of propane tanks at the plant. Weve driven by it before and seen them, so i assume theyre individually blowing up. Thats why you see individual fireballs shooting up into the sky. We first heard them in our home, which is probably about ten miles from the explosion, and we heard what sounded like thunder. But we started listening to it and realized it didnt sound like thunder. It almost sounded like an explosion of a gunshot or a rifle or Something Like that, so we went outside to investigate, and thats when we saw that the sky was all orange and it was flashing. So thats when we drove down to the lake to see it a little bit better. It was humongous even from seven miles away. It was a general like very large fire, and then there were fireballs shooting up past that with each explosion that happened. Quite a scene. Tavares is a small city north of orlando. Northwest of orlando. Right now the city administrator for tavares says 24 people were working that nightshift. 15 of those people unaccounted for right now. At this moment. What we know right now, five, there are at least six injured we know of. Five of them were air lifted to the hospital, nearby hospitals. One taken by ambulance. All with severe burns. Thats kind of the the injuries that could be expected when Something Like this happens. There are eyewitness that are saying this sounded like shotguns, fireworks, giant fireballs in the sky. People thought you know, people thought somebody ran into their home, banged on their door. It could be seen for miles away when the explosions were happening. Still happening. I used blue rhino propane, and anybody thats shopped with lowes, they have a contract with that company. These are all over the country, and presumably this is a factory that manufactures those. A very tense situation. A onemile area around tavares still evacuated, and the search for the unaccounted people continues. Just to give you an idea of how incredibly powerful this explosion was the lake county sheriff says it blew the roof all of the plant. We will, of course, continue to get the updates and bring them to you as soon as we get them. Well, lets move onto this. The plummeting Political Support for new yorks embattled candidate for mayor, Anthony Weiner now in fourth place. A brandnew poll showing 53 of new York Democratic primary voters say it is time for weiner to get out of the race. The voters are having their say with top members of weiners party. Heres abcs jim avila. Reporter it was just lunch. Hillary clinton arriving at the white house, heading for this alfresco table for two in a meeting described as largely personal between friends. While in clintons adopted state of new york, her top aide huma abedin was nowhere to be seen as her disgraced husband Anthony Weiner kept on campaigning for mayor. Welcome to flushing. Reporter reporters wondering out loud if hillary had weighed in. The sexting politician resisting mounting pressure and collapsing poll numbers. There are no Second Chances . Why did he get in . Hes not qualified. Hes wasting time and space. Im not going to ask pundits. Im not going to ask other politicians. Im going to let the people decide. Reporter abc news learned mrs. Clinton reached out to weiners wife, but sources say the couple is ignoring all outside advice. And while bill and hillary have not gone public, aides and advisers say theyre eager to see weiner exit the race before damage is done to a possible clinton run for the presidency, reminding voters of the clintons own sex scandal with Hillary Clinton standing by her man. Im sitting here because i love him and i respect him. Reporter much as weiners wife has done. I love him. I have forgiven him. I believe in him. Reporter but at least one scandal expert says nothing huma abedin can say now will save her husband. I would recommend that she not campaign with him at all. The train has already left the track. Its already left the station, so he cant pull it back now. Reporter clinton advisers tell abc news not to expect to hear from the clintons themselves. Their message will be delivered by donors and surrogates. Another message not heard by Anthony Weiner from the pollsters, the latest saying more than half of new yorkers want him to drop out. Jim avila, abc news, the white house. And our coverage continues now with abcs jeff zeleny whos been covering the Anthony Weiner scandal since it broke. Good morning, jeff. Top democrats leaning against weiner now. Polls not looking good. Theyre against him. Whats next . Well, hes staying in the race, he says. Everyone wants him to get out. Im surprised a lot of democrats were surprised it is only 53 in the latest poll that wants him to get out. You cant look very far. You have to look a long ways to find some one that wants him to stay in. Look. He filmed new Campaign Commercials this weekend. Hes still going to ask voters of new york to give him a second chance. What hes really on right now, people say, is a redemption tour, trying to rebuild his image in the middle of all this. Hard to see really what his path to victory here is, but he, you know, has nothing to lose. Jeff, hes really digging his heels in here. Campaign appearances as late as last night. People asked him about the clintons and the relationship he has. What did he have to say . All about the clintons. He said i am focusing on the voters of new york city. He was not giving much respect to the clintons. Of course they dont live in new york city. They live outside the city. He basically said he is not going to take his marching orders, cues from the clintons to voters last night. We saw his wife huma out there prominently when he first when it all hit the fan so to speak. We did not see her in the church. I think we will not see her here on it. How is that progressing . Hear anything . A wife since we have seen huma abedin stand at his side. In washington, d. C. , having dinner with a former adviser to secretary of state Hillary Rodham clinton. She is not in new york city. Behind the scenes. Celebrated her 37th birthday over the weekend. Not the way you want to celebrate in the middle of this. But shes still supportive of him. Shes just not at his side. Shes had enough on that front for now. All right, jeff. Some saying that that dinner that she had might have been a little show of appearance with the former aide. Certainly a very public place in washington, d. C. , where the clintons used to go where everyone would see them. Perhaps it was. Jeff zeleny, thank you. All right.

A onemime radius around the scene had to be evacuated as the flames burned and burned. To washington, d. C. , where a woman is accused of using green paint to deface the face of washington, d. C. And she could be responsible for similar incidents throughout the nations capitol. More from abcs karen travers. Reporter a woman in custody in washington suspected of vandalizing the citys National Cathedral with green paint. The Iconic Church was the third d. C. Landmark defaced in the past four days. Wet green paint was found in the cathedrals oldest chapel, the bethlehem chapel. Similar paint was found in the childrens chapel. Last friday the lincoln memorial.

The marble memorial on the edge of the National Mall is one of the most popular Tourist Attractions in the capital with millions of visitors every year. It closed temporarily on friday after the paint was discovered but reopened later that day. Park police said damage was not permanent, but crews are working to remove the paint.

They work on all our statues, all of our memorials, so theyre very familiar with them. Reporter more splattered green paint on a statue outside smithsonian headquarters on the mall. Authorities believe that vandalism was also done last friday. Tourists were shocked to hear of another incident. I just cant believe it. I just think its pretty wrong.

Do you think for a crime like yours prison time is inappropriate punishment .

Were going to jump right in on this tuesday morning. We begin this half hour with breaking news. A Central Florida town rocked by one explosion after another. Erupting at a gas plant overnight. Propane tanks turning into fireballs by the hundreds in tavares, shooting flames so high in the air they could be seen miles away. There are at least seven injuries, four critical. 15 workers reported missing have been found. The surrounding area had been evacuated. Heres what the Sheriffs Department told reporters earlier this morning in an interview. Well, apparently they store the propane cylinders in different parts on the property in different areas of the plant. And as the fire continued to spread, there were more and more explosions, as you said, pretty recently actually. So that just really obviously presented some challenges for the fire personnel to get in and get it contained and under control. At this point we dont feel that anyone else no one else is no longer in danger. The evacuation is still in effect for the half mile radius. But at this point we dont feel that anyone is in immediate danger from the fire. We have no reported injuries from anyone in the surrounding neighborhood. All the injuries we have been made aware of are from those that were actually at the plant working tonight. John, you said 15 unaccounted for. Is there anything being done at this point to try to find those people . Is that possible at this point . At this point, the Fire Department, fire personnel theyre doing what they can on scene, and theyre reaching out to obviously relatives and acquaintances of the people. Right now their main concern is containing the fire, containing the scene, making sure that no one is in danger at the scene and the surrounding neighborhood are safe. Thats their primary concern. What do you tell people who live nearby who might be fearful that this could get started again . I would tell them that the Fire Department has numerous resources on scene and theyre working very diligently to get this contained, get this under control, and im getting updates pretty much every 10, 15 minutes from them. So far it looks like at this point that its contained, but i dont want to say that and give anyone a false sense of hope. So were just waiting to see how they proceed. So just turning now to the people who were injured, we know that at least six of them were taken to nearby hospitals. Five air lifted. One taken by ambulance. All of them were told with severe burns. We did speak to an eyewitness earlier who told us that hundreds of propane tanks are at this plant. As this erupted, you could hear them popping off into the sky, so powerful, this explosion, it blew the roof off the plant. Apparently pallets and pallets of these propane tanks, the kind you use on your backyard barbecue. I have used it, a blue rhino tank. I have used blue rhino in my barbecue. Many of you probably have. The big concern, 15 people unaccounted for. Evacuations still in effect about a mile around that area. Tavares, by the way, is in northwest part of, northwest of orlando. Not very far away. But, not, a big population area. But nothing like orlando. Small enough town. But northwest of orlando. Not too far away from there. Onemile radius has been evacuated. But as far as five miles away people are claiming they could see not only the fireballs in the air, but they could also hear it and feel vibrations of the explosions. Every time one goes off you hear the pop and see the big flash of light. Thats true. Well, of course, follow this story and bring you the very latest. But now were going to turn to other news of the day. Another headline this morning. The popes surprise comments about gay priests. These remarks during an impromptu News Conference as pope francis was returning from brazil. Abcs jeff zeleny here in new york with more on this. Good morning, guys. I mean it really was an unusual scene aboard the papal plane. For a while it seemed the vatican was unplugged. Pope francis did what none have done. He stood in front of reporters for an hour and 20 minutes, taking questions, and then he turned serious on an issue that has confronted many of a divide in this church. Reporter pope francis opened a new era of compassion towards gays on monday saying priests shouldnt be judged or marginalized for their sexual orientation. As he flew back to rome after celebrating world youth day in brazil, the popes words in italian rippled around the world. [ speaking Foreign Language ] if someone is gay and he searches for the lord and has good will, whom am i to judge . Those comments didnt change catholic doctrine but signaled an olive branch from the peoples pope. It was a different tone than we have heard from the vatican. I thought it was pastoral and compassionate. Reporter the overture only narrowly addresses homosexuality but still it was striking. His predecessor benedict called gays objectively disordered. John paul ii said homosexual acts were against natural law. Archbishops and bishops always take their lead from the pope, and the fact that the pope is trying to be more welcoming is a great step forward. An issue dividing american catholics. As a catholic i am happy to hear that sort of thing. Being a lot more open and accepting. Of people of all different backgrounds. I am definitely open to it. The book says it is an abomination. Reporter the pope also extending his hand to divorced catholics saying they can receive sacraments. And women saying theyre more important than bishops and priests. And for a church long beset by scandal, the tone of humility from pope francis is the latest sign that a new age may be dawning for the catholic church, an attempt to energize and fortify the faithful. John, diana. Interesting. Quite a different tone from pope francis. Really its a remarkable change in tone. But not necessarily a change in dogma. John, you are right. The tone was a significant thing here. Many popes before him have not used the word gay. The fact that pope francis, he calls himself the peoples pope, really with those five words, who am i to judge . He set the tone of a different type of style here for the church. You are absolutely right. He did not address the core issues of homosexual acts being against the churchs policy and doctrine. If we are not changing doctrine, we are not changing policy, what is pope francis trying to accomplish for the church here . One thing, trying to accomplish, to build on what he was doing in brazil at world youth day. Speaking to 3 Million People. He knows the church is in trouble in terms of shrinking population. He is trying to put a new face on the church. Vatican experts say this is significant what the pope does trickles down the line here. The change in substance and tone is likely to have quite a big effect. And it is dividing catholics. A lot of catholics we talked to, today, said that some were in favor of this. Others were not. So a controversy nonetheless. Going back to brazil. What a reception he got there. No question about it. Some 3 Million People on the beach as he was celebrating mass on copacabana beach. Not a bad place to be. True. Abcs jeff zeleny, thank you so much for that. Thank you. All right, jeff.

Im willing im willing im willing im willing welcome back. Now to a battle nearly as epic as that of david and goliath. An oregon woman spent years fighting the credit giant equifax after she noticed mistakes on her Credit Report. Now two years after launching the battle, she is a big, big winner. Heres abcs chief Business Correspondent rebecca jarvis. Reporter julie miller says eight times between 2009 and 2011 she contacted Credit Bureau equifax, filling out reams of paperwork, even highlighting their mistakes. But even after all that, she claims they still never corrected the errors. All kinds of incorrect information, like 40 debt collector information and incorrect Social Security and birth date. Reporter for two years her Credit Report listed erroneous accounts and collection attempts, problems she says she discovered only after she was rejected by a bank when she wanted to open a new account. We did put some of the things off that we had planned to do during this phase because we couldnt get credit. Reporter but what makes this story different from so many others with similar complaints is that a federal jury in oregon has just awarded miller 18. 6 million, one of the biggest settlements ever. Equifax wouldnt say whether it disputes millers claims but told abc news we are very disappointed in the jury verdict and are exploring our options. Experts say equifax will appeal. Miller hopes this is a wakeup call. It can really affect your, your credit and your scores and your life. Reporter if that isnt enough of a wakeup call, this should be. One in four Credit Reports contain errors according to a recent study. Remember everyone is entitled to a free Credit Report every 12 months. Dont forget to get yours and then, of course, check it. Rebecca jarvis, abc news, new york. I am the first one to roll my eyebrows when somebody gets a ton of money for nothing. That is ridiculous. I am really happy about this one. This woman tried and tried and tried, according to the legal case, to get this rectified. The company didnt do it. Everybody has felt powerless dealing with a giant bureaucracy. Maybe this will send a message. Youre right. And not only that weighed on the jury. The jury, her attorney. Probably realized she didnt go running to the courthouse she actually tried for two years with the company and called back and stayed on the phone and did everything they asked her to do. She wasnt able to get this credit and it affected her in ways we didnt hear there. She couldnt get a line of credit for her brother, couldnt help her husband band open up a shop. Her brother had a disability. Gigantic corporation made any body go on in a circle of endless futility. Hope they saw that. I hope you are paying attention. Hope they saw that. Still to come.
