Just as a funny aside, I have one of these dryers from the 80s in my house.

It came with the hose.

It dries the clothes.

The repairman is like, it's going to be just as expensive to fix this as it would be to buy a new one.

I'll just assume.

I was like, no, no, fix this one.

And he's like, why?

I was like, it dries the clothes in 30 minutes.

The interesting thing about the co-op apartments in particular, from what I understand, I don't understand everything, so I may be speaking a bit about something I don't know, is...

the degree to which all people play it.

Yes.

Whether you're sort of like a student just graduating or you're a billionaire, you're all sort of like playing this game in the co-op housing.

I see what you're saying.

I know we're coming up to time here.

I want to get to a couple questions.

What are the rules of good copy?

If I asked you to teach me how to write good copy, how would you do that?

There is this thing that sort of relates to that, which was Bill Gates had this saying, he's like the best.

And, you know, I have friends living this now.

The best technology doesn't win.
