Booker T continued, “But I think itโ€™s one of those wars where we want to push you guys. We want to push you guys as hard as we can. We can push you and vice versa. I just think thatโ€™s the way it is as far as. Guys are jumping ship. Got to take a break here In a second. I said this was something that was going to happen. Itโ€™s going to be something that was going to be happening frequently because now you got some whales to go. Thatโ€™s just human nature. I donโ€™t care if you were working at FedEx.
