Welcome to the I Love Civo Show, guys. My name is Jerry Miller, and thank you kindly for joining us on a Monday in downtown Charlestville. This, the water cooler of content and conversation in Charlottesville across Central Virginia, the Commonwealth, the country, and the world. We encourage you, the viewer, and listener to help shape the conversation. We want your story ideas. We ask for them. We don't want to break the news. We do it quite often, but we don't want to break the news.

We want to be the water cooler of content and conversation where we can offer our commentary on what happening in our community. It's an intersection, the I Love Seville Show, of current events, of news, of politics, of real estate, of business, of community events, of lifestyles, the rich, the famous, the poor, the middle class, you name it. We talk about it all in the program, and I think that's what makes the show great. Take a look at the screen for today's headlines. If you're just hearing this for the first time, you may be floored, you may be flabbergasted, but it's today's reality. In the most significant merger of 2026 so far,

a Florida utility is purchasing Dominion Energy for a Whiskers Hair under $67 billion, $66.8 billion, to be exact. Why is a Florida company? Why is a Florida utility? Why is a Florida electric company? Why is a Florida power company? Creeping up the eastern seaboard to the Mid-Atlantic. to purchase Richmond-based Dominion Energy.

We'll answer that question for you on the I Love Seville Show today. $67 billion, ladies and gentlemen, in a merger and an acquisition that is going to need 12 to 18 months to pass red tape and bureaucratic approval. Simple answer, ladies and gentlemen, on why a Florida utility is purchasing Dominion Energy is what's happening in Northern Virginia, data center alley. Northern Virginia is the largest concentration of data centers in the entire world.

And this Florida utility called Next Era wants direct access to this booming power-hungry tech sector. What's this mean for Charlottesvillians? What's this mean for Almar County? What's this mean for Central Virginians? What's this mean for folks in the Commonwealth? We'll talk about that on the I Love Steve-O-O-show today. The six-month anniversary is upon us for 2000 holiday drive. Charlottesville City Hall and Charlottesville Local Government and Charlottesville City Council

purchased 2000 Holiday Drive, a 27,000 square foot brick Georgian office building that had sat on the market for sale for an extended period of time six months ago. What has been accomplished in that six-month period of time? We are going to put on this show utilizing our influence, our reach, Sam Sanders, City Council, and City Hall on the clock. Because $6.2 million of taxpayer resources is nothing to sneeze at. And six months have now painfully trickled by. And I've seen absolutely nothing done.

I'll talk about that on the program today. I want to talk livable Seaville. If you're a paying subscriber, if you're an I Love Seville Insider, it's $8 a month. It's the cost of a price of coffee. Literally, a Starbucks cup of coffee, $8, $1 cup of coffee, get you content and coverage on Charlottesville, Almore County, and Central Virginia that zero people are offering.

We're averaging 50 to 60 pieces of fresh content per day for I love Seville Insiders. I published a story this morning that will soon be syndicated across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Rumble, Fountain. Amazon music, Apple music, you name it. This piece of content will be syndicated and published upon it. And its premise is very straightforward. The nonprofit lobbying group, Livable Seaville, is a wolf and sheep's clothing in the back pocket of developers all over Charlottesville and now into Almaro County.

And Livable Seville, the nonprofit, led by Stephen Johnson, the UVA professor, and Matthew Gillick and the UVA employee are directly responsible for gentrifying black communities, black neighborhoods in the city of Charlottesville, and rapidly, rapidly changing the look and feel of a community that at one time was quite diverse and is slowly becoming white, wealthy, and homogenous. Liveable Seville's agenda is driving black families out. I love Seville insiders. learn why livable seaville's YIMBY agenda is predatory and without question pushing black and brown people out of the city of Charlottesville.

That story for insiders only. A lot we're going to cover on today's program, ladies and gentlemen, including Kavanaugh cabinets on East High Street. The real estate is for sale. I believe you have a photo that you can put on screen. You already have it? Go ahead and give them the cherry on top of the Sunday early in the program. Cavanaugh cabinets on East High Street. The real estate is for sale. Is it on screen? 1329 East High Street. Very new to market. A warehouse and shop space for sale. 8,326 square feet on 0.3 acres.

1,200 square feet of condition office space. This is perfect for an owner operator. Multiple roll-up doors, ample power, and 16-foot clearance height in the main workshop. It's zone. CX-5, a mixed-use quarter designation which allows a wide variety of uses, including housing, retail, and restaurants, offices, and neighborhood services, as well as warehousing. Cavendell cabinets, its real estate, 1329 East High Street is for sale. We'll unpack that on the program today. I've said it once. I've said it twice. I've said it three times. I've said it a hundred plus times. East High Street, ladies and gentlemen, along with Cherry Avenue are two incredibly important corridors in a landlocked Charlottesville City.

East High Street and Cherry Avenue, from my standpoint, are the two most significant corridors in Charlottesville City that are primed in focus for redevelopment, density, and rapid and significant change. I want to talk about that on the program today. I also have on the show today, Judah, large Tiffany getting canned. The men's lacrosse coach has been pink slipped by Carla Williams. A statement was sent to me minutes ago by the athletic department at the University of Virginia in a terse statement from athletic director Carla Williams. That was three paragraphs long.

I will read the statement to you. It was so short. Virginia Athletics announced today, Lars Tiffany will not return as head coach of the men's lacrosse program. Tiffany posted a 108 and 51 record, including back-to-back national championships in 2019 and 2021 in 10 seasons at Virginia. A national search will begin immediately. That's the statement. I'll count the words now for you. I can do it so quickly. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 301, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37.

38 words statement from Carla Williams announcing the pink slip and firing of Lars Tiffany. This is a man who led Virginia and its lacrosse program to a pair of national champion. Ladies and gentlemen, rumors swirled last week that Tiffany may be canned. He responded to internet rumors by texting legacy media, quote, the report of my death is greatly exaggerated. Today, Carla Williams has fired Lars Tiffany, who won national titles in 2019 and 2021, coach 10 years in Charlottesville, posted a 108 and 51 overall record, and about nine days ago, won an ACC championship. What a wild story from roofless Carla Williams, who's had a hell of a 2025 and 2026 run, so much so that Carla Williams is now the Teflon

Don. She is insulated, bulletproof, and protected. And when you're insulated, bulletproofed, and protected, you can shit can Lars Tiffany in a less than 30, less than 40 word statement on a Monday that was three paragraphs lock. Unbelievable. So much to cover on the broadcast, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jerry Miller. He's Judah Wickcower. Studio cam Judah Whitcower, studio cam, Judah Wickcower, then two shot Judah Wickcower. I'm excited to conversation with you. You're a trusted voice in this community we call Charlottesville in Elmore County. I hear routinely about the job you do on this talk show. I want to commend you yet again on everything you do behind the scenes and everything you do in front of the camera and behind the microphone, a voice of reason. Your personality, my personality, perfect compliments for a uncharted talk show like this that is truly live in just about all circumstances unplanned, except for seven or eight bullet points that we put in the headlines.

We literally don't know where we're going to go on just about every talk show we do. My friend, which headline most intrigues you and why? And perhaps it's a headline that's not on screen. Perhaps it's an Almore County Public School principal change that you may want to pontificate about. No, I think I'll let that lie for now. Really? God, I thought I set you up so perfectly for that. I mean, I could. Apparently the principal for one of the principals is being moved.

move to Crozet in a move that has many parents and teachers and those involved with the schools somewhat up in arms but I've got some reading to do

okay maybe we talk about that on another show I would imagine you know principal changes within Almore County Public Schools are always significant especially when they go from

you know how do I put this schools that are you know performing at levels that perhaps can improve upon and then shift to a school that is you know performing extremely well Is that me choosing

My words carefully? Yeah, I think you're choosing your words carefully. So I think the big issue here is that is that... I mean, I'll just cut to the chase. Greer Elementary to Crozah Elementary. Yeah. A lot of people feel like the Greer mojo is working. They've got a good principle.

Everything is, you know, everything is running smoothly and in place. And so to bust that up, just to, just to send a principle that everybody likes to career rather than, I mean, sending the principle to to Crozé rather than letting Crozay search for the right principle. Some people feel the wrong move. Career Elementary loses its principle to Crozay Elementary in a move that Greer Elementary parents are saying destabilizes our school for Crozay Elementary that is already much more stable than ours. And Greer Elementary parents are now suggesting the rich get richer while the marginalized

stay marginalized. That's a story to potentially unpack later in the week. I think the lead story, and before we get to it, we'll give some attention to Charlottesville Sanitary Supply and Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company. Charlottesville Sanitary Supply has been in business for 62 years. John and Andrew Vermillion are at the helm of Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. Their family business is three generations strong. Their family, the Vermilions, have lived in Almerau County for five generations.

Charlottesville Sanitary Supply has an online store and delivers anything for free in market to your doorstep. That's cleaning related, sanitary related, vacuum related, bona hardwood floors related. If you need to purchase a meal of vacuum, do it at Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. It's warranted. They also have a vacuum mechanic on site that can fix and repair vacuums. And their sister company is Charlottesville Swimming Pool Company. That's the first team you call for anything swimming pool related,

including pool construction above ground or below ground, water testing, pool covers, pool robots for cleaning, and shade for your swimming pool. Dimmigian Energy, a merger with a Florida utility in what is a deal of, it's the largest merger of 2026 so far you're talking 67 billion dollars 67 billion in an all-stock deal valued at 67 billion to with next era energy a florida company people are immediately asking this question why is a florida company purchasing a richmond based company because why is a Florida company purchasing a Richmond-based company. I think it's pretty obvious to answer, Judah.

Yeah. There's money to be made, and with the rapid growth of data centers, every single new data center is going to require massive amounts of electricity. Northern Virginia is data center alley. The most significant and largest concentration of data centers in the entire world is in Northern Virginia. And this Florida-based business called Next Era Energy that is based, ladies and gentlemen, literally out of Juneau Beach, Florida, it gets the company inches closer to Northern Virginia and Data Center Alley. What does this mean for Virginians?

What does this mean for Charlottesvilleans and Almaral counties and Central Virginians? That's a great question. First off, next era, this acquisition, this merger, they are promising clients and customers bill credits and operational efficiencies. That's what they're promising the marketplace. We'll credit you on the bill. We'll have operational efficiencies tied to economies of scale. We'll vertically integrate the best of both businesses to give you the customer a better

scenario, with your utilities, with your power. Anytime you hear corporate chitter-chatter like this, you should question it. Here, my concerns on a number of different fronts for Virginians, Almarconnians, Charlottesvillians, and Central Virginians. Number one, now a company out of Florida owns Dominion Energy in Virginia. I was not a fan of Dominion Energy ever. But one thing I could say about Dominion Energy, it was based in the Commonwealth. Now its headquarters are in Florida. It's got less ties

to do right by Virginia because its primary headquarters are no longer in Richmond. Number two, next era is making this purchase because it's prioritizing artificial intelligence and data centers.

Data centers and artificial intelligence work against a 14th. Against a affordability for average Joe's and average Jennifer's. Data centers and artificial intelligence need massive amounts of power. Data centers and artificial intelligence, you can make an argument are one of the reasons average Joe homeowner and average Jennifer homeowner are seeing their utility bills uptick. So if a company is prioritizing data centers and the money that comes with AI and data centers in northern Virginia,

saying it at one side of their mouth, while the other side of the mouth are saying, we're going to keep things affordable for average Joe homeowner and average Jennifer homeowner, you've got to call BS on that. And that's exactly what I'm doing right here. I also wonder about redundancies, mergers and acquisitions to the $67 billion ilk or magnitude.

Eventually, you're going to have redundancies, whether it's back office, whether it's HR, whether it's accounting, payables, receivables, human resources, whatever it may be, those redundancies often lead to layoffs in pink slips. And I would bet you, because it's a Florida company buying a Richmond-based company, that those layoffs and pink slips are going to be associated with the Richmond-based company. You've got to wonder what Dominion Energy being purchased by a Florida company is going to do in some magnitude to the Richmond economy. This is one of the most significant employers in Richmond, Virginia.

They sponsor golf tournaments. They sponsor squash tournaments. Tennis tournaments. Nonprofits they underwrite. Philanthropic endeavors everywhere. One of the head honchos at Dominion Energy is on the board of visitors at the University of Virginia. The B.O.V. A second term appointed by Carl Spamberger.

By Abigail Spamberger. What is going to happen, ladies and gentlemen, to Richmond, if pink slips and layoffs of any kind happen to these heavy-hitting high-dollar, high-power jobs in RVA. Judah Wick-Carrar, what are you watching with this merger and acquisition? Yeah, I mean, you make some great points that a company from Florida is not going to do everything they possibly can to preserve the management structure in Virginia. And yeah, and now they're going to be one of the biggest power companies in the world. And, I mean, I think that they wouldn't be doing this if data centers were, you know, if we had all the data centers we needed, I don't think this would be an issue.

So I would buckle your seatbelts and be ready for more. more data centers coming to the Virginia area. Two people, three people, I'm very curious of your opinion on this Florida utility buying a Virginia utility for $67 billion. Deep Throat, number one, very curious of your thoughts. John Blair, number two, very curious of your thoughts. And handsome Hank Martin, number three, very curious of your thoughts. Very curious of your thoughts, those gentlemen,

specifically from the viewer and listening public of this final, and fair talk show, very curious of your thoughts. Like and share the show, viewers and listeners. A couple more comments from me before I open it up to comment. Mega mergers, and this is a mega merger, it's $67 billion. Mega mergers of this size rarely go smoothly. The deal is expected to take 12 to 18 months to close, and it will absolutely face intense scrutiny

from the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and also regulators, regulators here in Virginia. The risk is prolonged battles in corporate integration can cause operational distractions. If the SEC fights the merger to protect Virginia consumers, it could result in costly legal battles as well, and indirect costs which are then passed to customers. Let's see if this plays out or how it plays out over the next 12 to 18 months.

viewers and listeners, let us know your comments. I will relay them live on air now. Judah, anything else you want to add? No. Deep Throat, number one of the family. His photo on screen. Next era has been trying to grow, Deep Throat says. That isn't always easy for regulated utility

if they want to stay in the regulated utility business. The main way to expand is horizontally via acquiring other utilities. Next era tried to buy Duke power and failed. So it stands to reason they would look at another player. Next Era is a much more sophisticated company than Dominion. It's huge in renewables. Next Era Energy has three or maybe four nuclear stations in some big nuclear ambitions. Dominion only has millstone. But clearly there is scope for nuclear in the Virginia data center space, which is served by Dominion. And Baxter,

Back to Next Era Energy, they have announced plans to create a few dozen data center hubs around their serviceable area. They want to be in Virginia, if that's the case. Seems like a sensible deal. Now all the people who have hated Dominion, I'm looking at you, billionaire Michael Bills, and you, Sonia Smith, will be working to try to get various regulatory entities whose approval is needed to slap conditions on it. This transaction won't close for at least a year, if not two.

Dominant employs 5,000 people in Richmond, though I imagine some are just operational people and not corporate. To be fair, also, Next Era Energy has a ton of employees outside of Florida. Full disclosure, my cousin is very senior in legal department at Next Era Energy and ran the nuclear regulatory area there. That's from Deep Throat, number one in the family. Ginny Who, thank you for the retweet. she has comments on Lars Tiffany we will get to those comments as the show progresses Ginny Who

comments put them in the feed and I will relay them live on air wow I got a comment literally on the program right now from Dominion Energy I have a direct message from Dominion Energy and someone that is a step below C-suite that wants to offer background and color on this deal and why this isn't a good scenario for Virginians and why a closer look into this deal is a must for regulators. Let me look more into this DM from Dominion Energy. This is wild that we're getting contacted here. live on a talk show

by someone who is claiming to be a step below C-suite here. I'm going to table this for now. Unbelievable. I'm getting comment bubbles here. And they're saying what about this deal?

That without question, this is not good for Virginia. Regulators without question need to look in this. It's not a slam dunk that this deal were close. And not everyone at Dominion Energy wants this deal to happen. And now the bubbles continue to come in here. Wow. Lottie Murray watching the program right now. I know it's not on people's radar, but often power lines, but often power line right of ways are the last refuge for many rare plants and animals. I know of at least one of these power line upgrades. in Louisiana that will destroy rare plants only discovered for the first time last year.

While it's possible to have power upgrades and data centers that are sensitive to their impacts on biodiversity, often it's not even a consideration when these projects are done. Thank you, Lonnie Murray. Appreciate you, Lonnie. I seriously mean that. My biggest issue here is, you know, how does a company from Florida take care of Virginians from Florida and how does a company from Florida that's clearly focused on artificial intelligence and data centers prioritize affordability for average Joe homeowner and average Jennifer homeowner when data centers and artificial intelligence in a lot of ways are the opposite of affordabilities

for average Joe and average Jennifer homeowner. John, not to mention the fact the company they're taking over, there were always questions about those exact same things. So are they going to take over and suddenly become altruistic and fix all the things that people disliked about Dominion or, you know, as you mentioned? I mean, who's their number one? Who are they most responsible to first, Judah? Probably where they get most of the money. I would guess that that's...

Very succinct answer. Who is next era energy most responsible to first? I don't know. They're stockholders. That's fair. Yeah. So they have to drive value. They have to drive value.

And that's going to come at the expense of average Joe and average Jennifer a homeowner. I mean, it's your whole adage profits over people. Yeah. That's a, you know, softball tolls for you with profits over people. I mean, that seems to be the, that seems to be the rallying cry for, what, the second quarter century of the 2000s? And the most disheartening thing of the profits over people in this case

is there's very little choice for the people. It's monopolistic. John Blair's photo on screen, number two in the family. How much of this is about a political climate of Virginia that is increasingly reluctant to approve natural gas power generation? Next era is Florida and has a much easier regulatory climate for gas.

Can next era use its natural gas generation capacity and distribute it into Virginia? Interesting, John. That would allow them to avoid the General Assembly and State Corporation Commission structures for new energy generation in Virginia. Hot damn, that's why John Blair is number two in the family. Props to John. I did not think about that, John. I should have thought about that.

That comment is so good. I'm going to read it again for the viewers and listeners. How much of this is about a political climate in Virginia that is increasingly reluctant to approve natural gas power generation? Next Era is Florida and has a much easier regulatory climate for gas. Can Next Era use its natural gas generation capacity and distribute it into Virginia? If so, that would allow Next Era to avoid the General Assembly and State Corporation Commission structures for new and, Energy Generation Virginia. I am going to screenshot John Blair's comment, which I think is very good, and it's on the record

publicly, to my Dominion Energy contact that just sent me about a 400-word direct message. I am, so you can hear it on the microphone. Screenshot, right there. Direct message to Dominion Energy Contact, who I've never met, who is evidently watching the show. and let me know what you think of this comment, which I think is very, very good. Let's see how they respond to that.

If you're just tuning it to the program, it's a $67 million acquisition and merger, one that will certainly affect Virginians. I mean, you thought your power bill was high enough. Neil Williamson is watching the program, president of the Free Enterprise Forum, his photo on screen, for what it's worth, Dominion Energy,

is a publicly traded compan. Dominion also has generation facilities in Indiana, Illinois, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The company acquired Questar Corporation in the Western United States, including parts of Utah and Wyoming in September. Is that in response to John Blair's comment, Neil? Is that why your comment is there? And I believe Neil Williamson is on Friday's edition of Real Talk with Keith Smith. Keith is in the Caribbean celebrating his 40-year anniversary with his wife, Yona.

I believe Neil Williamson, the president of the Free Enterprise Forum is in studio and then Keith's seat on Friday at 10.15 a.m., which will certainly be a lively show. Janice Boyce Trevillian is concerned about Louise at Culpeper, Orange, Flavanna, because they're stuffing data centers everywhere. Hank Martin is watching the program. He's one of the guys I wanted to make sure I got a comment from. Handsome Hank Martin's photo on screen, please. Handsome Hank Martin has very quickly established himself as a top seven member of our family. Is this photo on screen? Yep.

Next era swooping in to swallow up Dominion's entire portfolio, including its massive debt load and those intensely expensive multi-billion dollar offshore wind and green energy capital projects. But don't let the corporate press releases fool you. The suits at the top will still get their massive stock payouts and the balance sheets will look pristine for investors. Meanwhile, back in the real world, it is always the consumer who carries the freight. every single mile of transmission line, every shiny new turbine, and every dollar of debt absorbed in this merger ultimately flows downhill right into your monthly utility bill. A temporary bill credit is just a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down before the long-term rate hikes kick you in the nut sack to fund their green transitions. I had to kick you in the nutsack, by the way.

I thought you might have. I put that in there. I mean... He continues. He continues. Big energy plays the game, but the everyday taxpayer and utility customer is the one keeping the lights on and paying the price and getting their nuts sack kicked in. I had that part, too, because I'm the chair. But that's handsome Hank Martin.

Judah's like, God, Jerry, I have to deal with this 40 hours a week. What were you going to add, Jude and I apologize for interrupting you? This is also from Hank Martin. He's got a link to WTVR, CBS, and the fact that that, that, There are plans that would add 17 data centers to Henrico. Why am I worried about data centers? Why am I worried about data centers? Do you want to answer that question?

I think Conan is asking. And Conan Owen, I respect his, he and I are often very different with how we view things. He says, why does the geography matter? Are you equally worried about AstraZeneca going to take care of its Virginia operations if they aren't based here. Better question if Dominion is loaded with data center business and their associated revenue, why is it Dominion acquiring other power companies?

Do you want to handle why we're worried about data centers in any capacity, Judah? Yeah, data centers are, it's not just about electricity. I mean, in some states right now, California and I believe a few others, they've had issues in the last year or two with brownouts and, just not having enough power to cover the need of their constituents.

And now we've got these data centers that are sucking up power like Hoover vacuums. I would hope you'd say meala vacuums from Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. There you go. Mila vacuums from Charlottesville Sanitary Supply. Nicely done. That's a great use of simile and metaphorical, colorful language. There's the additional problem of water. They are massive users of water, and the requirements are worrying to a lot of people who live near them

and are worried that their water is going to be negatively impacted or completely dried up by these data centers that need the water to help cool down their systems. Good commentary from Judah Wickhauer. Deep throat responding to John Blair. To John's point, no, that will not necessarily help. Florida and Virginia are in different interconnect zones. Virginia in PJM, Florida in Southeast ERC. That is above my pay grade, the language these two gentlemen are communicating,

one through direct message on Twitter, the other one through LinkedIn messaging. But I appreciate number one and number two in the family regardless. We're at the 115 marker. I have a 2 p.m. meeting, so we're going to pick up the pace and tempo. The next headline, Judah Wickcaro, what is it as you're putting lower thirds on screen? Oh, let's see. We've got the city having purchased 2,000 holiday drive six months ago.

I'm going to be succinct with this. six months ago, Sam Sanders, City Council, and City Hall purchased 2000 holiday drive. Six months ago, Charlottesville City purchased a 27,000 square foot office building that had been on the market for an extended period of time. Six months ago, Charlottesville City utilized altruism and empathy and kindness and the hand-up mentality to purchase 2,000 holiday drive for $6.2 million. And in six months, nothing has happened. And in six months, in quintessential Charlottesville fashion, we have had consultants, work sessions,

we have had conversation, we've had consultants, work sessions, conversation. And yes, we've had consultants, work groups, and conversation. but nothing of merit materialize. We don't have a finalized budget. We don't have a clear path of attack. We don't have a single homeless person and any kind of climate-controlled shelter.

In fact, we have the Rivana River encampment that's now complemented by the Zero East High Street encampment. We have two encampments. Six months, nothing has happened. Judah, do you want to add anything to that topic? I don't know. We had some issues with this topic last time. I think that you're right.

Nothing has been done. I don't see anything being done anytime soon. And everyone seems pretty happy with the status quo, I guess. I mean, despite the fact that we get some boo-hoo speeches about the fact that the encampment is going to lead to tragedy, I don't see anyone jumping on their horse to go gallop out and and save anyone.

So, make that what you will. Anything else? I think it'd be great if they started using the land that they bought, but that's obviously years away. Time will tell. Next headline, Judah, Wiccaro. What do you have? Next up, we have Livable.

Seville. If you're an $8 a month insider and subscriber of the I Love Seaville Network, our substack, you can go to Ilovecvill.com and click subscribe. You will be grace with an analysis from

yours truly on why livable Seaville's YIMB agenda is driving black families out of Charlottesville, Virginia. Can you have, can you put our graphic on screen? Are you able to do that? Let's see.

In a short period of time, could you do that in a way that viewers and listeners can see it and read it if they're looking at the screen? Or is the copy and the font going to be too small? That's a good question. I can try it. If the copy and font is going to be too small, we could just suggest that they go to, is it on the free website yet? The teaser portion of the story. Is it on the free website? It is just the image. All right. The image, if you want to taste, if you want a little taste, if you want a little, taste on it, go to I Love Seville.com.

If you want the nitty-gritty, $8 a month will get your content that you're not going to get anywhere else. I think I've made, in fact, I know I've made a very convincing argument how nonprofit lobbying group led by Stephen Johnson and Matthew Gilliken, Livable Seaville, are the wolves in sheep clothing that are basically the mouthpieces of high dollar, out-of-market, big-money developers, that are directly responsible for gentrifying black and brown people out of City Charlottesville. It is a convincing argument where livable Seaville utilizes the YIMB mentality as a weapon. Yes, in my backyard as a predatory weapon. And basically, in predatory capacity, says anyone that does not favor development in Charlottesville City or Almore County

is lack of better phrase are racist. Is that photo on screen? Yep. Look at the screen. Look at the screen. Look at the screen. Look at the screen. Look at the screen right now.

Anything you want to add to this, Judah Wickhauer? Yeah, I think you give them too much credit as bad guys. I think they're closer to just a bunch of people that have no idea what the, what the consequences of their actions are going to be, and they're trying to do what they think is right, which may not align with everyone or anyone else's idea of what's right, but they're convinced of their own good intentions and push forward anyways. So you're saying instead of being strategic bad guys that are malice,
