speaking, has the directionally I but think this one, think of shown very if modest the I research, this or 'XX, and in is financial since that's measurable from what almost downturn from in 'XX memory effect frankly, the would happen. crisis in but

Christopher Bottiglieri

So cars it drag segment? like rationale it in that just a there's there an is somewhere. something being systemic? low-value more charity competitive a that's Or Is there causing that seems is upset then and a

Leah Stearns

that No, it's continues value low to just shrink. bucket

Christopher Bottiglieri

that causing it is something shrink? competition? market Or that changing? Is What's just that the is to

Leah Stearns

our we're terms in focus allocating efforts. our just really of where It's

of On a staff making operating just that expense? part yet, investment labor expanding the around is is you've so in that operation yard sort the is growth, higher a investment? real costs? recently acreage estate recent spike portfolio? or full in of yards that expense you capacity Do you've been at deleveraging the in yard that have years aren't to of in some a expanded of really more these this as it much there structural builds something nonrecurring some capital Is Or and
