I’m very happy to have my guest for a new Boots on the Ground. This is Jeff from Bulgaria and, you know, frankly, I’m always moved and honored by our clients and viewers willingness to share personal experiences. Because that helps you relate better to what’s happening today. Simply it reinforces the strength and growth of our global community.
Though, not directly connected to the Ukraine, Bulgaria has a similar history with Russia and has been walking a very fine line between Russia and the West. So I really wanted to talk to you because it seems that the news that people hear in different parts of the world is all different depending upon where you live. And, and frankly, I think, think that we need to hear from our global community to see the truth of what’s really happening to the normal population.
To protect our guest, you will not see his face, although he is very handsome or his full name. And let me say, Jeff, I cannot thank you and enough for coming on today and sharing your story and experiences.

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO:
Lynette Zang:
So tell me about your $5,000 tomato story.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Yeah. Well, I grew up with a father who had an urban farm in the suburbs of Chicago. And so I was actually able to experience a real tomato. Otherwise in the 1970s, 1980s, I did don’t know if, how, how big the, the, how terrible the tomatoes were in the store. I’m pretty sure they were pretty terrible back then, too. But today they’re not so good. Let’s just say that. So I had this I worked in a neighbor’s garden. I pulled weeds. I ate out of a garden and I consider to myself to be very fortunate to have had that experience because my father found peace in the garden. Just like I find peace in the garden. And now in this situation that we find ourselves in, it’s not, it’s not only about being able to find peace. It’s about being able to sustain yourself and, and your family and even the neighbors around you where we live. You know, we, we can outsource, it’s not really outsourcing, but we have someone in the village who will take care of a pig for us. As an example, if we don’t want to have the large livestock, we can, we can source the milk. We can source the gold cheese and we Don have to make a lot of these products, but we can, we know where it’s coming from. So for our family, it’s very important to before we even came here, it was very important to eat organic and know where your food is coming from, know the farmer. So here we are the farmer ourselves. And it is, you know, when you’re, but that’s the way people live in the village here in Eastern Europe, they literally sustain themselves. And usually it’s the older people and the younger people will come from the city and they will come to the village and they will take all the jarred food and they will go back to the, to the, to the city. It’s quite charming. Actually, they’ll go back to the, they, you know, people know, or twenties and thirties, will go to the village, go by their parents and then bring these, the jarred goods and the, and, and, and put them in their cupboard in the big city, because there’s this appreciation for real food, non-factory oriented food. Right. And an awareness of certainly your’re probably aware, this is like Mecca for anything fermented. So the health benefits of sauerkraut and anything fermented, kombucha and all that kind of stuff. This is really kind of the region for that. And the yogurt here, you know, the LA.
Lynette Zang:
Oh my gosh, so good.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Bacteria was original to Bulgaria. So it’s it’s kind of, you know, it’s dairy, that’s another big export here is dairy, but so yeah, we, it’s, it’s very expensive to figure out how to actually get the garden to produce what you want it to produce even a little bit.
Lynette Zang:
But, you know, you have great water there. I mean, for it’s all in the dirt, but it’s also also in the water.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Yeah. The soil is very rich. There’s different types of soils around here, but generally speaking, I like to joke, but the, but Bulgarians, don’t find it funny that I see why the Turkish wanted this territory and dominated this area for so long. It’s so rich in natural resources, including water, which has only become more and more scarce of course.
Lynette Zang:
Right. Do you have a lot of ponds there? I mean, fertilizer has been come and will get to be a much bigger issue, but there’s natural fertilizer. So I know I’m in the middle of the desert cause I’m in Arizona and I put in five ponds, so, and I stock them with fish. So we use the fish water as phenomenal fertilizer. So what, what do you do for your fertilizer?
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Yeah, so that was one of the really neat things that I discovered about Lynette Zang. When I first started finding out about this other part of your life, I’m like, wow, she’s into the food forest in Arizona. Yep. How is that done? So yeah, we, we do it a little bit differently here. Although I secretly told my wife a couple days ago that I was going to tap you for some information on how to do what you do with the tilapia and all that. It’s we are not doing that. We could do that here, but what we are doing is a lot of composting and I’m, I know, you know, what composting is so because we’re not in the desert, I’m sure there are challenges.
Lynette Zang:
Why explain that though, because not everybody’s gonna understand composting so
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Well certainly none of the Bulgarian here out in the village understand it either. I’m finding really yeah. To my, to my surprise, people here burn all of their old vines and tomatoes and they’ll just pull everything up, put it in a pile and burn it. which is okay, you can take those ashes and you can, you know, fertilize with the ashes. But when we’re composting, we’re taking food scraps, we’re taking mostly vegetable remnants leaves and essentially fermenting them, making a delicious stew out of them, breaking them down over the course of a number of months and then using those as organic, natural fertilizers. So once again, we know what is going into our food that we are harvesting. We know exactly what has gone into that. We can use some rabbit manure. We can and use a little bit of chicken manure. We’re trying to move toward a more permaculture oriented situation where we can, as an example, take the chickens and focus the chickens on one part of the property and then have them do their thing make their droppings and create and spread wood chips on top of that with their droppings and essentially create compost that way without having to do any of the labor, the chickens do the, the composting for us. All we you have to do is provide the, the leaves or the, the wood chips and those kind of things. So we’re learning from James Prigioni on YouTube, we’re learning from some of the permaculture, I’m sorry, the woman that you interviewed. I can’t remember her name.
Lynette Zang:
Marjorie Wildcraft
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Marjorie. Right. So she’s been doing this forever. Yep. And we’ve been learning from her and it’s it’s a blessing to have these people who are so educated and so good at explaining and yourself included with motivating.
Lynette Zang:
Well, the motivating I’ll take, but I know about the explaining on the gardening, cause my tomato cost a hundred thousand dollars.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
It’s it is, you know, the failure aspect of it is really tough. And, but you know, it’s been a situation for a few years, at least for us, that we’re prepping right. And we’re learning and we have the time to fail. I just fear for some people that when all this shakes out, that there’s not gonna be enough time for people to learn all of this, they’re gonna be fearful. They’re not gonna wanna do it. Where do you find the land to do it? Where do you acquire the resources, even a polycarbonate tunnel, right? How, where are you gonna put it? Where is your land? How do you know if even if you get someone to set it up, what do you, there’s so much failure involved in, you know seeding and nurturing plants and giving them what they need, if you, yeah. Now the fertilizer crisis that we’re experiencing, apparently this explosion of price of the fertilizer you know, the solution for that, from our perspective is use a natural fertilizer obviously.
Lynette Zang:
And that’s. Yeah. And I mean, that, that is so well said. And because of this, this explosion, I mean, if you look at Greece, when they went through their sovereign debt crisis, a lot of the people that lived in the cities, well, they do, they went back home to the country, to the farms and that’s how, that’s how they made it. And you know, that was an interesting comment that you made that they come from the cities, they get all the canned goods and they go back they go back home. And so their, their pantries are stocked with all these good, yummy vegetables and beans and all of these things that we need to survive. But and you’re also right. There is a big learning curve, but you know, I had this motto, it’s gonna sound funny. I know you gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince. So the key is to just keep kissing those frogs and then you learn, and then you figure out how to do this because I definitely was not even marginally a gardener. I mean, I have two sisters were both master gardeners, so, and we always had a kitchen garden growing up, but that wasn’t really my thing, except that I knew from my studies, that food becomes the single biggest issue for people as they’re going through it. And you know, the other statement that you made that I absolutely love and I’m repeating this because I really want people to get it is that, you know, there are probably farmers around you. So where you get to source, you don’t have to have a goat and have your goat cheese, your neighbor’s doing the goats, you are doing the bazillion dollar tomatoes. Somebody else is doing, you know, something else. And you come together in community. That’s the whole point of community to bring all these different skill sets. And, you know, I will say, cause people know about my bug out house and I’m super excited because the, the only thing I don’t have up there yet is the food thing, because I’m on the top of a mountain. So the geodesic do hothouse, the construction starts on May 1st and I’m setting everything up there to create my, there is a village down the mountain and it definitely we’re integrated with them. But even up on the top, I’m working on creating kind of like our own village with all different skill sets, you know, fortunate.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Oh, wow. Wonderful. Right.
Lynette Zang:
Yeah. So that’s, and we’re documenting all of that. So you, you know, just keep staying tuned to BGS and you’ll, you’ll see, have we, we done this solar, have we released the solar yet?
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Yeah.
Lynette Zang:
You know, so we’re, we’re really kind of doing what you get to do just by moving to Bulgaria.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Right. There’s, there’s another aspect as you’re talking, I’m realizing because I’m going through it. You’re going through the, the geodesic dome and here we’re kind of the community aspect also gets into security because
Lynette Zang:
Yes, indeed.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Even there isn’t even any kind of turmoil here. And my wife is already saying to me, no, you can’t take that piece of land and put at a polycarbonate tunnel on a greenhouse on it because there’s no fence around it and people will come even right now and just take your food. So that’s that when you’re describing this, I’m wondering how do you protect yourself when you’re remote and you know, all hell breaks loose. I would want, it’d be wonderful to be wrong about this, but what do you do? And I think the answer that you just gave is community. If you have people around you, there is a sense of security that comes with that. Those other people you have, I suppose, some sort of line of defense, you know, when you want to guard your stuff, it’s not just who you’re not alone, alone, right? Yes. You don’t just have you and your, your one dog. You might have a group of people that would be there to bands together, right. And protect what you have,
Lynette Zang:
Even your community. You know, it’s like everybody in my neighborhood knows that if they see a zucchini that looks good to them, you know that they should take it home for dinner. They’re welcome to come and harvest so that they’re not really doing anything. And then it’s amazing every once in a while, there’ll be a little gift with a note, thank you for the Curry leaves or thank you for this. And I think that in a little village, that’s what you do. You know, you let them know you don’t hurt the plants, but you take something, you leave something. And that way nobody’s being taken advantage of. And it strengthens a sense of community. For me, there is a town, like I said, it’s down the mountain. And when I built the power grid on the bug out house, I made sure that I haven’t put all the batteries in, but I made sure that, that it was expandable enough so that I could actually supply the town now. Wow. You think they’re gonna take you think the town is gonna protect me?
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Wow. Right.
Lynette Zang:
And what kind of value? So, you know, for me, what I learned a long time go, and I’ve always lived by this is that I think everybody should bring value to the table with pretty much every interaction, whatever that is. So whatever value you as a person, an individual can bring, bring it. Right.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Well, I’m curious, I’m curious as to what gave you the, that idea to that that would be what you would barter with? the energy component. It sounds like is probably we’re more comfortable with,
Lynette Zang:
Well not necessarily, but you know, like I said, when I started this, this, my little urban farm, it was really because I said, okay, I’ve gotta feed about, you know family members, 20 people. But because to be honest with you, I don’t know how to do anything in a small way. It’s kind of against the nature of the beast. Then like, well, what do I, why am I watering this grass? Let’s just do it bigger. So when I’m up there, you know, my goal is to integrate into my community, become a community member, not be an outsider. And so it’s like, okay, well, what will they need from me? Because a lot of people there have gardens, not everybody. And I’m happy to share the food as well, but I knew that energy could be a problem because not everybody is off the grid.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Okay.
Lynette Zang:
So for the community that I’m building on the top of the mountain, I needed an expandable source.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
I love how you said that. Can I do the whole town? I love that.
Lynette Zang:
Why not? You know, it’s not very big town, so it’s not like it’s like Phoenix, can I, you don’t light up Phoenix. No,
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Of course. But I love how you say, I don’t know how to do it any other way. That’s, that’s just the way I’m I do it. Right. That’s perfect.
Lynette Zang:
Right. So, and even with the geodesic domes, they’re 17 feet high. And, you know, I said to him, I said, okay, I, I wanna be able to feed 35 people, well, be able to feed more than 35 people. Right. So yeah, it’s part of being the community. Right.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
It’s wonderful. You had mentioned earlier that, you know, take some and leave some, take some and leave some, there are actually, there are urban urban areas where I’m from and in Chicago, you’ll find parts of Chicago, urban areas that practice this. So this is not, let’s talk about something a little bit hopeful here. There are people who do this and who are familiar with it and it’s already happening and it’s happening. Not because there’s a crisis. So in a crisis, maybe I should not underestimate. People’s willingness to just be human and be kind to each other and to come, come together and deal with a bad situation and make the most of it and not steal from each other, but figure out ways to help each other. I think that is the human spirit. So
Lynette Zang:
And I think, you know, I’ve personally found in my lifetime that if you come to people with this, then a lot comes back to you. If you come to people with this, well, there’s no room to come back anything to come back. And so that’s, you know, that’s part of, that’s a big part of my work and that’s why I do interviews with, you know, I mean, pretty much maybe I shouldn’t say this on air, cause Jacqueline’s the one that manages this, but I’ll go on any channel, right. Because it’s more about spreading the message and creating that bigger and bigger and bigger community.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
I can’t remember the gentleman’s name, who I, where you revealed your personal side. That is not only good for you and for your, your you personally, I believe that’s good for you. I also believe it’s good for the company to allow you to open up and talk about the food forest. And quite honestly, when I heard that I became very excited and I thought to myself, wow, that’s just like me. And there’s not this gap between Lynette and, and who I am in multiple ways. I’m also very concerned about all of this craziness going on and I’m very eager to learn from you, but on the finance side and the banking side and currency, but I was almost blown away to hear your personal stories. So, and I, I think that’s a Testament to you being willing to go to some of these smaller YouTubers and go and talk personal and don’t think it has anything but positive for you and for the company and for the mission of helping people.
Lynette Zang:
Well, that, that’s what it is. And, and, you know, I don’t really have to ask permission. I’m kind of too old for that. And probably a little too strong for that, but I try and be conscious. And the reality is is, you know, nobody lives a life on skates and it’s what you do with those lessons. And quite honestly, out of the hardest periods of time, always for me anyway, come the biggest gifts. And I think that’s true for everybody really, you know, it, it’s just, it, you, you have to get the gift because it’s kind of like comes down and maybe there’s a little nudging on something and we as humans ignore it because we, we think we know better. And then that nudging gets harder and bigger until wow. If can’t get your attention any other way. Yeah. So it’s what you learn from it. And that’s, you know, the biggest lesson was why I was here and I’m here to be of service. So that’s why when you
Jeff from Bulgaria:
First, it, it, you, you feel it through all of your work. So I, I won’t over compliment you and make you red. Can I ask you one question?
Lynette Zang:
Me anything
Jeff from Bulgaria:
With regard to ones it’s off the topic of gardening, sadly, but currency, if, if an, if a country had as its ability as Bulgaria does to kind of play the Euro game, but at the same time, it can print its own. We can print our own currency. Does that put us, I’ve heard you speak about this before, but it was a little bit unknown or not specific and that’s fine, but what, what do do countries that, you know, deal mostly in their own currency, have any kind of ability to fight off inflation? I think the answer is no.
Lynette Zang:
Well, the, the answer to that, I mean, it depends on if this country is fiscally responsible, which typically they are not because when you don’t have any backing other than the full faith and credit of a government that requires confidence. It really is a con game. So when they start to print, you know, just as much as they need to fund government spending and take on that debt, then that’s when you have when the that’s, when you have inflation, right? Because there’s interest on that debt. But also, so it depends on why, what what enables them to create that money. And the whole system is based on the ability to grow debt. When you have debt, you have interest on that debt. So inflation is baked into the cake. The job of the central bankers is to regulate the rate and speed of that inflation. So as long as they can. So if
Jeff from Bulgaria:
You’re Go ahead, if you’re in the Euro zone and you are on the Lev as this country is, and you start printing up, but you may as well be printing up euros.
Lynette Zang:
Well, you may as well, essentially. Right? And I I’ll tell you a story. I think it was 2009. I went to Hungary and I went to Hungary. I took my kids on a little trip and we went to Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic, I was really, really busy. So I just ordered in the currencies and it just kind of, didn’t quite occur to me that I could go to all three countries using euros. So I ordered foreigns, I ordered euros. And then I ordered, I don’t remember whatever the, the Czech currency was. And I got, it seemed like in Hungary, they were experiencing a lot of inflation and things seemed very inexpensive to me compared to the dollar. So I got $2,500 worth of foreign. That was like, you could choke a horse with it. That’s how big the stack was. I did 3000 of the other two currencies. The Euro stack was about this big compared to like that big. And I went, when that came in, cuz I didn’t even think about it. Right. When that came in, I saw it. I went, wow. You know, Hungary’s experiencing, lot of inflation,
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Right. They were roughly equivalent is what you’re saying, these amounts the value,
Lynette Zang:
But they were right. That actually put 3000 into the euros and only 2,500 into the farms. Right. But the really, really, really, really, really, and I meant to ask you this. So you guys are getting a bit of all of the interviews views. You know, when I got in all the currencies, I converted all of them on my, on a little pad to dollars. So I would just have an idea of what I was spending, cuz this was also a steady trip for me. And what I found was when I would go to a restaurant or I would go into a store, I would get a bill and I had a choice I could pay in foreign or I could pay in euros. Well, because I knew how much the foreign were versus the Euro. If I paid in euros, it would’ve cost me 20% more. I thought that was really, really, really, really interesting.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
So, and why, why that,
Lynette Zang:
Well, obviously Hungary wanted payment in their currency because they controlled that better. Sure. Right. But if you didn’t realize that there was that difference. Right. If I’d just gotten euros, right. I would’ve paid in euros thinking that I was paying an equivalent amount, an
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Equivalent.
Lynette Zang:
Right. Right. When in reality I was not. So obviously I paid in foreigns, but so are you on the dual currency system? I didn’t ask you
Jeff from Bulgaria:
This before. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So you can, it’s the look at you. Like you’re strange if you off, if you hand them euros at a gas station or at a grocery store, they’ll tell you that they don’t accept them. I think technically they do have to accept them and they would accept them. But at a markup, as you are indicating, yes. I’m pretty sure.
Lynette Zang:
See isn’t
Jeff from Bulgaria:
That that’s an opportunity for the small business owner actually to extend to somebody a markup like that.
Lynette Zang:
Know may, maybe it is, or maybe the cost to then deposit those Europe. Those euros are greater than the cost to deposit the local currency.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
That could be the cause we are experiencing as you know, the, the negative interest rates. Although it’s not in Eastern Europe here at the banks here, it’s not nearly as dramatic. I think in central Europe it sounds like it’s much more dramatic.
Lynette Zang:
Well, it was at that time, I don’t know about today, but in 2009, that’s what it was.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Oh, negative interest rates in 2009?
Lynette Zang:
No, no, no. The difference between the foreign and the Euro, the premium. Oh
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Right. Okay.
Lynette Zang:
Yeah. But yeah, we didn’t even talk about that. Maybe we should, because I hear that, that the Euro, the ECB is going to raise rates to zero.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Well, I certainly don’t have any ties into the ECB, but no,
Lynette Zang:
But what is, what is your boots on the ground experience with that?
Jeff from Bulgaria:
People do keep money in the bank, but generally as a culture, they don’t, and it’s not a credit oriented culture, although the younger and middle aged people it is, but generally speaking, even them, they don’t, yeah. They don’t carry a lot of credit card debt. It’s a cash based culture and you know, people use ATM machines and those kind of things, but I think there’s more people who have cash and, you know, carry their own cash outside of the bank, outside of the system. You know, there’s, there’s no IRAs here and there’s no, you know, all these products. And then a lot of sadly, a lot of the investment that does go on here is washing money you know, money made from illegal activity. So you know, that’s, that’s all over the world, of course. Right?
Lynette Zang:
Well, don’t worry CBDCs will take care of that, But it will be really interesting to see that in all of these countries that are more cash oriented, less debt oriented, less bank oriented, that’s gonna create a pretty big stumbling block to CBDCs, cause that’s too big, a change
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Hard to say because there are people here, like in this little village that I live in that have a $3,000, three, I’m sorry, 3000 leva, which is what 1800 U.S. Dollars. They have the latest iPhone. So this is something that is a little bit depressing, the westernization of Eastern Europe the cultural disintegration from, you know, the social media and it’s been very, it’s torn apart, you know, the social fabric, right? People here stare into their phones now just like people, you know, when you go out to America, you go to a restaurant everybody’s staring into their phones. They’re not staring at each other, talking to each other, they’re staring into their phones. They’re on the, they’re not on the bus talking to each other, they’re staring into their phones. So a lot of that has gone throughout the world. And so it’s been, that’s been difficult. So with regard to CBDC, I think everybody here has, has a, a device. Some of the older folks have a little tiny little, no key, an actual phone, not a smartphone, but an actual mobile phone that Amer Americans would laugh at. But middle aged people and younger people, they all carry the, you know, the latest phone Samsung or what, whatever it is. And if they’re still still
Lynette Zang:
Used to dealing with cash that going from having cash and utilizing the cash to just using your phone, that is a huge transition. It’s gonna take a minute. It’s gonna take something that, that was a big reason why Greece did what they did was to get people used to it. So it may take something like that to force people into that system, let them stay there long enough to get comfortable with it. So that the transition to programmable money is not as big a shock
Jeff from Bulgaria:
There’s, there’s no doubt. There’s no doubt that there are multiple forms of incentives in the plans. As you know, you read the reports and you read yes, everything that is available, there’s all different kinds of incentives and there will be future crises. So I think even in a cash oriented society, that’s more comfortable using cash as compared to north America, which it is here. And credit is a new idea here. You’re relatively speaking. I think it will still be quite easy to move people into a CBDC. And I mean, I don’t hear anything about why do
Lynette Zang:
I hope you’re wrong?
Jeff from Bulgaria:
I do too. I don’t hear anything. I don’t hear anybody talking about 5G anymore. If’s just something it’s a neat technology. And I’m thinking if you just look into it just at the surface level, it’s not a neat technology at all. It’s right. Takes all the privacy concerns and just blows them up into much bigger problems. So, but I, I, I really appreciate your taking the time to chat about the $5,000 tomato. And yeah, I’m sorry. I had to ask questions about the, the, the, do not
Lynette Zang:
Be, sorry. I think this is no, it was great because we didn’t cover it. We needed to cover it. So do not apologize. I can’t even thank you enough for coming on. This has been so much fun and I don’t know if you ever get to Arizona, you’ll come to the farm.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Oh, absolutely.
Lynette Zang:
But I’d love to go to Bulgaria. I would love to be able to travel again, cause I do you learn so much from different cultures and you know, traveling to different countries and I mean, I miss those days.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Well, if you like fresh air, clean water and mountains, we’ve got it here.
Lynette Zang:
Absolutely. And then lots of dairy
Jeff from Bulgaria:
And we’ve got the black sea and we’ve got Greece right next door. So it’s it can be very nice. You’re, you’re invited and yeah, you have friends in Bulgaria. And so and when I get to, hopefully I’ll get on a plane soon and come to Phoenix and
Lynette Zang:
Okay, well you have friends in Phoenix too. Absolutely do that. I mean, it’s one of the best parts of my job is that I do get to talk to people all over the world. So when we can travel again, then you know, I have lots of people to visit and I’m really excited about it. I will definitely, I’d love to come to Bulgaria. That would be a very interesting trip.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Would love to have you. And like I said, it fresh air. One of the biggest exports is rose oil.
Lynette Zang:
Oh yes.
Jeff from Bulgaria:
We have a particular type of rose, like the particular type of rose that is preferred for cosmetics. So we export we’re, we’re the main exporter to practically the world, but France takes a lot of all the cosmetics being produced in France uses a Bulgarian rose oil and, and that kind of stuff.
Lynette Zang:
This has been great. Is there anything else that you wanna talk about with the farm, with anything Energy, any of the rest of the mantra pieces?
Jeff from Bulgaria:
Not at the moment. I will return you to your day and thank you so much for the opportunity to, to help. I had mentioned to my wife that you know, you had been in, in touch and I thought, well, whatever I can do to help, because I feel like we were blessed to know you and to receive the wisdom that you’ve accumulated in your career and I’m doing my best to spread it. And if there’s anything else I can do to help people understand what’s going on here with all this craziness, with people grabbing commodities and just kind of panic when there’s really no reason to panic, which is the government’s response has been, Hey, there’s no reason to panic. So it, it concerns me that when we, we do have a reason to panic how people will behave, right. So, but it’s just but if
Lynette Zang:
