it's only a question of financial management. Yes, this one contract probably won't ruin our flexibility going forward. But I'm just trying to be vigilant against signs of overspending or waste. I am definitely 100% against the "well, we've got lots of cap space so let's not worry about it" mentality. It's kinda the like the idea that if you add up all the money some people fritter away every day on small, so-called insignificant purchases like cigarettes and Starbucks coffee, it ends up being a staggering amount over time. There is a lot of truth to that.
