This time may be different because the police may have a lot greater reason to join the people than they did in the past. The police's retirements were also wiped out, and the police's family members are a lot more likely to have been affected by those tariffs. I think it's too pessimistic to say what you're saying, because the number of people affected now is significantly greater.
