Will release films simultaneously in theaters and streaming platform hbo max it is a seismic change, carl, in the economics for those related to the film business and well certainly be willing to and happy to take a closer look and discuss it. Yeah. Fascinating change in the economics there. But, guys, jobs numbers, the story of the morning, jim, not just the number itself and the trend it outline, but the degree to which it is going to color the debate on capitol hill today and maybe next week. I think it is enough ammo to say, look, we have to do something, there is some areas of the economy that just are cannot be sustained.
