We have literally had to reinvent our business several times since the beginning of the year. Just to stay afloat. Our revenue for example, is off about 40 . We have half of the employees that we had free covid. Our customers are a little scared, our employees are sometimes afraid to come to work. Ecause of the covid to be honest with you, i am just frustrated. I dont understand how we got here. We are the greatest nation in the world.
