#shorts Hawley: Well, I’m asking because when I raise this issue, specifically as it relates to opening up more mines in this country with our protections, creating more good-paying jobs in this country, the Secretary of the Interior told me last month that she pointed out to me that, well, there’s 1.9 jobs for every American in the country. So, there’s a lot of jobs, and right now, you know, we’ve got basically too many jobs. I just think that’s outrageous. I just think it’s totally outrageous. We need more good-paying jobs in this country, which is why we need realistic, serious permitting reform that will make those jobs available, secure our critical supply chains, and get our workers back to work. Thank you for the work you’re doing in that respect.
