There's no, like we're having now, you know,
very easily articulate why that is a problem.
Never even crossed my mind that it was occurring or that it could potentially become a very big problem.
And I feel like it's sold as kindness and empathy towards people who are hurting.

We don't want people to get hurt.
But we don't also think, or I didn't think, of all of the potential implications of what that meant.
You know, like you just very clearly articulated there.
I'll give you just a quick example.
That's kind of personal to me.
