| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Luke. We're going to start with TBTL in just a moment. First, though, this |
| 0:10.9 | reminder that TBTL is getting sponsorship from Bing. Bing is all about the summer of |
| 0:16.3 | doing, and we are getting you the tens of listeners involved in all of this. Last week, |
| 0:22.8 | we had our friend, Carrie and Stan would sign up to do some vertical gardening for us, |
| 0:27.2 | which is already hard at work on that. And this week, we are taking in your submissions. |
| 0:31.9 | If you would like to be our forager, that's right. This is the week of eating on Bing, and |
| 0:37.4 | they've got all kinds of things. Food trucking, dim summing, and of course, loco-voring, |
| 0:43.6 | which has been bastardized. I'll be honest, I'll call it what it is. It's been bastardized |

| 1:08.2 | cool tool, actually. So if you want to email us and be our forager, mine is Luke at TBTL.net, |
| 1:16.1 | and you can also see Andrew with that. Andrew is at TBTLMusic at gmail.com. TBTL gets |
| 1:23.1 | support from Bing, Bing. They're all about the summer of doing it. Let's do some TBTL right |
| 1:29.1 | now. This doesn't actually require people to buy health insurance, and I think it would be good |
| 1:33.5 | if you read the legislation because it doesn't. It imposes a penalty. And a penalty is different |
| 1:38.6 | from forcing people to buy. That's compelling somebody to do something if you're going to |
| 1:41.4 | punish them for not doing it. Look, it's a tax. Essentially, people have to pay a very |
| 1:46.4 | modest amount, it's about $95 a year, if they choose not to buy health insurance. But it's |
| 1:52.0 | part of a scheme in which Congress rationally chose to build a national market for health insurance |
