I mean, but you know, I mean again, like I guess like the theme of today's show is like

Justifications for why no one can do anything despite like all this power that they're supposed to have and it's just like

It comes back to this idea that like what we're seeing in the pandemic and we're seeing another demonstration of it right now in the

Texas ice storm is like you know disasters keep happening and they seem to be happening at least environmental ones at a

greater and greater clip and

It's just the idea is like that

Our government our country like just isn't real it doesn't exist to do anything for anyone

Yeah, just you can't even oh you can't even provision like even the barest of services to people in desperate need

The wealthiest country in the world and it's just like our society just isn't real America is not a real country anymore

And I guess like I mean we don't have a lot of time left

But like Libby I know that this is your beat now

But like there is no better example of the fact of like that

This is just a fake country than like the way we treat healthcare in this country like it's just or the way we like don't

Don't treat healthcare. I guess I should say or just like the idea that like

You like it costs I don't know 30 grand to have a child in a hospital even with health insurance

It's just like what this isn't a real place like how like why are we putting up with this shit?

Yeah, I mean I to that last question. I truly don't know like more and more I wonder why there aren't people like

bombing United healthcare has had quarters or whatever, you know, and I mean, I know why it's the same reason why you know

The mass protests that happen are always fleeting and

You know even when stuff is going really badly. It's just everyone is just so fucking beaten down by it and people can't imagine anything better

And I think one thing that struck me like since I launched signal and I talked to everybody

For you know, I've interviewed people who have had huge medical bills
