Florida. I recognize the gentleman from north dakota for five minutes. Bezos, my colleagues brought up they were discussing thirdparty sellers this policy specifically noted possible loopholes that allow amazon to review nonpublic and aggregate data to inform private rams even in instances where there are only a few thirdparty sellers.
