“why are we living in a country where half of us are obese and eating shit food and don't know any better and then the other half of us don't like how just it's just it's lack of leadership that's caused dysfunction. And so if we're tired of that, then then let's just fix it. Like we don't need anybody's permission.

Like that's the whole beauty. Like that's the whole beauty of what America is, is like we don't, we don't need some greasy haired corporate schmuck to give us permission to go fix all these things that are wrong. Let's just go do it.

And if they don't like it, fuck them”

“I have this dream of just creating this parallel system that sits beside all these stupid systems that we live under, that are all sort of engulfed in this thing that we talked about at the beginning, this type of structure, you know, where none of us, where we're all just robots. And it's like if we hate, you know, if we hate the way music is and all these artists are complaining about the way the venues are monopolized and the ticket sales are monopolized, and let's just go find other places to play music, because there's so many people hungry for music and places that don't ever get it.”
