 All right, let's see, Daniel. Thanks, Ron. Have you heard of something that I guess is called the trial penalty? I was reading a story about parents who cheated to help their kids get into school, the UCLA, by having someone else take the test. And there were like 35 sets of parents. Those that would, well, forget what the word is, say that they're guilty, would get very light penalties. Several of them just got probation. And those that actually did get jail terms, it was like three to five months. Anyone who fought the system who said, no, I think this is wrong. I did not actually commit the crime you're claiming. They're charged with other things as well, such as conspiracy, and they're looking at 20 years if they're found guilty. And so they're calling this the trial penalty. And I just don't see where it's very just, right? I mean, either the people who are just getting probation are getting off too easy for the crime committed, or the people that are fighting the system saying, no, I'm innocent and I'm going to fight this. Are they being punished for fighting for their innocence? So, no, I think you're absolutely right. I think it's ridiculous. If that is the difference, slapping a wrist versus 20 years in jail, that's ridiculous. You know, what these parents committed is fraud. I don't think 20 years is the right penalty for fraud. They defrauded the university primarily. And the point is, look, if they're lying, you can get them for projury. And then there were additional penalties for projury. But yeah, the justice system is geared towards not going to court. It's geared towards settling. It's geared towards incentivizing people to admit or to settle, or to come to some kind of deal with the government so that the government doesn't have to actually engage in a trial. And the more exaggerated they make these penalties, the more people are gonna likely to just confess and get it over with, then fight it. Because the risk, if you fight it is, of course, if you lose and you go to jail for a long time. So I think it's part of the system's way of disincentivizing people to actually fight it, which is not healthy and not good. I'm not sure how you solve the problem, but you've gotta get judges who are willing not to buy into this and not to buy into prosecutors trying to relieve themselves with the amount of trials they have to prosecute. You have to get judges who are not willing to go for 20 years for a case of fraud and not willing to accept all these additional charges. Now, I can understand being willing to give somebody a lighter sentence when they acknowledge that they committed a crime that shows repentance, that shows maybe that they understand that they did something wrong, but not if it's the difference between zero and 20 years in jail, that's ridiculous. Yeah, I think so. And a friend suggested that district attorneys, prosecutors want basically a perfect trial record. And so they're also incentivized to try to make sure the only ones that go into court they can win. So they're gonna win. Yeah, no, I think that's right. I think you're right. I think it is, they do have that incentive. I think there's probably all kind of external incentives linked to that, linked to having a perfect trial record. Yeah, I mean, there's a whole literature called Public Choice, which discusses the incentives of government officials in various roles and in various positions. And it's really interesting and really fascinating. You know, we assume that government employees are there for the common good and they have incentives are somehow are pure. And because they're not self-interested, we know that that doesn't work and we know that that's not true and we know that self-interest is not a negative, but a positive. Thank you, Ion.
