0:03.1	One of the things I think about all the time is what are the iron laws of the universe?

0:10.8	And what it turns out is that there are not that many universal truths.
0:14.4	Not that many things apply to everybody all the time.
0:17.8	But I'm beginning to suspect that one universal truth is no deposit, no return.

0:28.6	And even when I desperately hope to find an exception, I find that this iron law comes

0:56.0	I'm Gritian Ruben and I hope this makes your week a little happier.
