so i met with the production team. we re going to furloughing people. they re going to take a couple days of unpaid vacation. i was a little ashamed, to be perfectly honest. these are people that have given i m getting emotional, so we re going to stop. we have to have, you know, monday morning a plan. when is the oil done? we got a little bit left we can finish with bottling. i don t blame the state of colorado. i don t blame the regulatory agencies. again, this has never been done before. but i mean, this is a clear situation where maybe the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. i m talking about these regulatory agencies. with that, you know, created basically a crisis. no oil, no products, no money. it s been a very precarious few weeks. for tripp, the crisis is the stoppage in production. soon more regulations could jeopardize the entire industry.
