0:00.0	what a moment like this catalyzes is everyone looks around and they go, oh, I thought it was me,
0:07.2	right? I thought I hated my experience with health insurance so much that I would laugh at a CEO
0:13.6	getting gunned down, you know? Like, I thought that was me. Like, I thought I was weird, you know?
0:18.6	But actually it's you and it's you. It's like every and you were
