My gut response to that comment was that that listener had an ax to grind with America.

In fact, I noticed that actually in Spotify comments specifically that a lot of the comments there are anti-U.S.,

or anti-US policy or something like that.

And they're much more, is vitriol the right word?

They're much more aggressive and vitriolic, yeah, than anything I see in my email inbox.

And I think it's because it's easy to leave a Spotify comment and you can be like, yeah, my name is Bumrunner6 instead of like writing me from your email address that's your name.

And then, you know, you know I'm going to reply to you at some point and be like, hey, none of these are facts.

Anyway, I also vaguely assumed America was not the most giving country, given how much you hear in the news about income inequality and the wealth gap and selfish billionaires, blah, blah, blah.

I mean, all that stuff can also be true.

But Abby's research paints a very different picture.

I know it's hard to measure this stuff, but it's great to know that even in America, this great sandbox of dog-eat-dog capitalism, there are decent folks helping other people in so many different ways.

And look, I'm not saying that in a rah, yay, America's perfect kind of way.

I'm more of a let's just be accurate and look at the data kind of guy, so big thank you to Abigail for that.

Also, one quick thing before we kick off.

A couple weeks ago, we did some sponsored content with Bjorn Eckeberg on red light therapy.

Some of you guys had mixed feelings about it.

I was actually expecting way more negative comments about this.

People really actually quite enjoyed it.

Sponsored content, basically, for those who don't know, that's where I sell a little tiny bit of my soul for a bucket of cash.

And again, a bit of my soul, not the whole thing.
