 Did you see the check, the questions in the chat? In the chat? Um, oh, okay. So, what is LPTA? LPTA. A week. There you go. Oh, look. Zuma just responded. LPTA. She learned it yesterday from Maria. But I was new to me, too. Ah, you see? See, Maria? Yeah. It's a heartbreak. That's what it is. Not all the time. My first two contracts were LPTA in a way. So this last year I won two out of three. This year I lost two. Wow. So you actually have a question about that, because we've been losing some, too. But the last one we lost, it was weird because the person that won it was from Atlanta. But actually the last two we lost are from outside the state companies. And they won it for the price, they won it for lower than the price that our self gave us. And they're in Atlanta. So how does, like, how can they even make that work? Or are they just, you know. They'll probably get kicked off the job. They'll lose money. That's how it works. I mean, it's just the reality. You know, in your area, we work with Doyin. Have you ever heard of Doyin? I've talked about them before. They've been kicked off. They were kicked off New London. They're going to be kicked off the Coast Guard. You know, I mean, they just, they're not doing their proper due diligence and they don't understand the market, right? So if you're from Atlanta and you're trying to bid up in Boston area, the rates are totally different. It's just, I mean, it's not even comparable. How do you get kicked off a job and still have the ability to bid? I thought that turns out to be like a negative aspect where no one will work with you in the future. Yeah, they don't, they don't really put you on a blacklist. You have, like, still money or something. Cancel for cause. Yeah. They don't really blacklist you unless you did something to harm, right? Like you crashed into a building, money laundering. They just, I mean, look, for them to do that requires some more steps in the process. And people just don't want to do paperwork, right? And if you, you know, I, I could say this. I had a friend of mine who, he had some government contracts where he didn't get kicked off, but he didn't perform and they, like, agreed to separate, like to walk away mutually. But then I've also had situations where during the bidding process, he literally, hold on a second, he, like, took his subs, number and doubled it, like a million dollars, like, doubled it, and they caught him, and they're like, hey, you're trying to defraud the government, and they were pissed, and like nothing happened. Does he still get paid for work completed until he got kicked off? Or does he just forfeit? You always get paid for work completed in the government. Yeah, they always pay you what you've completed, what they've inspected and completed, yeah. But what I, when I spoke to the SBA about it, and I asked, well, how come, you know, they allow him to keep making mistakes? Their answer to me, and this is like the executive director, was if we allow the, like someone in a small business sector market to, like, say we allow the government to do harm to a small business, then it becomes political. And then people say, well, this is why we don't need small business programs, because look at the kind of things that they do, and they really, so they think like that, that they're trying to protect the interests of the small business program, and somehow, like the SBA, since they're so ingrained in that, they do a lot to try and protect us. You, I mean, think about it, you rarely ever hear negative news about small businesses, and you know we're screwing up. Yeah, true. Chris, you know, like, look, since I've been on YouTube, I know several people have emailed me that couldn't do their contracts. Like, I probably could say like two dozen who got the contracts and didn't have the money, couldn't do it, and they had to return it back. So if that happened, if I'm, if they, people reached out to me, I could imagine people reached out to the SBA and Amphus Man and all that kind of stuff. So I think it really does, at some levels, become political. So that's why they kind of like protect us. So they just kind of sweep it under the rug to benefit everybody as a whole then. Yeah, because think about it, right? If they start, okay, so then what will happen is, right, the large companies say, see, this is why we don't need small business programs, because they don't know what they're doing. Look at the mistakes they make. Look at how, look at the kind of stuff that they do. And then, but at the same time, you know, what about Boeing lying and not telling people about the defaulting jets? Yeah. But then we'll also say the case is we as a small business can't make jets and planes. So that's why we have to use Boeing. So in a lot of ways, I believe that it really becomes political. And I'm not saying for you guys to go out and do wrong stuff. I'm not saying that. But someone just asked a question, why did nothing really happen? In a lot of regards, I think they're just really saying, hey, people make mistakes, small businesses, large businesses. And that's why we try to do the best we can by, you know, looking at past performance, getting references, you know, doing all the due diligence to ensure to prevent that from happening. As opposed to like blacklisting us, because we made a mistake. I think probably every large federal contractor has made a ton of mistakes. I've seen reports for Boeing overcharging the government for staffing. Even the guy who was someone recently, who's a nurse, who's on a COVID. And she said that her company was building the federal government or building the state government for certain nurses while they were sitting in the hotels. And they were charging them, just for them being like, for the number of nurses in the full hours, even though people are sitting in hotels and they got caught. So I mean, it's just, it's just, it's how this is, I don't think there's nothing to work, I don't think it's no, it's nothing to make issues out. And that's okay.
