e love facts. We love science. We don't trust scientists and we don't trust people who tell us we got our facts wrong even if we did. I'm just saying that we don't trust them. You know maybe you shouldn't trust yourself because I'm pretty sure you get the facts wrong sometimes. I'm pretty sure you've seen me get facts wrong fairly frequently. Am I right?

I mean I do this in front of people every day. I'm doing this in front of witnesses so you know I'm trying to get it right. It's like I'm immersed in trying to get the story right. But you've seen me get basic facts wrong a bunch of times, right, if you've been watching for a while? Because I get called out in the comments all the time. You've seen it on Twitter. People will call me out on a fact. I'll talk about one in a moment.

So I don't know. We like facts. We don't like liars.

Have you noticed that everything is broken? I feel like I woke up in a third world country. I'm going to give you the smallest example just for my life if I could just be self-indulgent for a moment. But I keep hearing stories from other people that they can't get the most basic damn things done that seemed to work fine just a while ago. And part of it is because there aren't enough employees. Some of it is shortages of goods. Some of it is incompetence. Some of it is red tape. But some of it is complexity too. And some combination of all those things.

So there are all these weird forces that have sort of come together. But here was a little experience I had. Was it yesterday? I was trying to get some healthcare for somebody in my circle, not me. So there's a minor injury. Everything's fine, don't worry about the injury. The injury is not the story. Minor injury doesn't matter, the details.

And I was trying to figure out should I go to my Kaiser Permanente Northern California minor care — so that's one thing. They have urgent care, that's a different thing. Or emergency care. All of them are in different towns so it's not like you could go to one place and then they tell you which one. They're different towns so you'd have to drive pretty far and find out you went to the wrong one.

Now here's the thing. So I try to find out. There should be a website where I can quickly see if you have this kind of problem go here. I couldn't find it. But of course it's also when you don't have all of your senses about you because you're working fast. You're trying to get something done quickly for somebody who needs it right away. And so you're driving and you're googling on your phone and trying to read their website to figure out where to go. Is it minor, urgent or emergency?

And call the hospital. Somebody says do you know how much that doesn't work. So yes I tried calling and when you call the healthcare they start asking you questions. What's your number of your card, your membership number, phone numbers and stuff. And so as soon as they answered and started asking questions I said let me shortcut this. I only need to know where to go. Here's the situation. Tell me which facility to go to. That's all I need
