      Yes! I lived in Chicago up until recently with the most glorious public transportation to a much smaller city where you have to wait an hour for a bus that barely goes anywhere, the whole city was designed for cars and it pisses me off for multiple reasons.
      We also need more charging stations for electric vehicles because that's a big issue with people investing in EV's, which sucks because I know someone with a Tesla and that thing is seriously like from the future and every other vehicle is just trying to play catch-up to their technology.

    My 3 month old loves you so much she tries to get you to "talk" to her and just giggles. Makes sense since I started binging your videos during my pregnancy. Can't wait to watch after her nap!

    I love that you give us film analysis, all the humor, but also acknowledge serious issues. I appreciate you❤

    Nick, I love that you have been including really subtle yet helpful messages in your videos lately. The callbacks to climate change and what we can do about it is not going unnoticed.
