Our generation doesn't have as many of those people that stay in their community that say, I want to take care of everyone, where you're just known as the person that the first responders could go to, or that the cops can go to, or that you're going to help out the people who are really supporting your community.

I think it's changed for a lot of reasons.

I think people didn't used to move around in the same way, right?

Like it's like, you know, it's the kind of push for college I think has destroyed so much of the social fabric of the country.

But it's like now if you're, you know, it's like he was the smartest in his family, he got sent to the priesthood.

Now if you're the smartest in your family, you get sent to Harvard.

You get sent to a school, you get pulled out of your family, you get pulled out of your church, you get pulled out of your community, and then you're told you have to chase the job.

You have to chase the dream.

You have to keep making more money.

You have to keep doing more things.

It's rare for people who are treated as the success stories to stay in their community.

And I think that's a huge problem.

It's like a huge problem that people don't put down roots and live somewhere for 50 years in a town where they can truly be sort of that pillar and that beacon.

Yeah.

I mean, you and I were talking about this.

I actually think the politicization of America might actually be a good thing after COVID, right?

It's like a lot of people, like I'm in Florida now.

I used to be in San Francisco.

A lot of people are waking up that where you live, the city you live in, it actually matters.

It matters for how your kids are educated.
