Great thread! "The classic response is to say this: imagine you are in your favorite Italian restaurant. The waiter delivers a magnificent dish of delicious pasta. In the middle is a cockroach. Do you send it back, or eat around the cockroach? The government wants to you eat around the cockroach." 👇
