They're like, it's bad to loot. We all agree. It's bad to smash open a store and steal stuff. You're not doing anything for a cause.

Like you can't, if you like start to like go over the line, like, yes, we have a democracy, but like, even in democracy, the governments can go over the line and things you'd have to deal with all these random things happening, like someone murdering someone or someone, you know, looting stores. So on an individual level, it's like, yeah, like that's a wrong thing to do.

not CEOs in general, just they're like, it's clear that the state of our healthcare system is continuing to degrade. And yeah, it's just like, I think people struggle to hold both things in their head. Myself included. It's like, it's wrong to murder someone a hundred percent.

That doesn't mean that like, everything's fine. Like, Oh yeah. Right. You know, that was technically wrong. So everything's fine. It just means that what we should look at is, wow, stuff is getting so bad that we're getting these types of things popping up where someone is not afraid of going to jail for life to like, you know, push forward this cause.
