"Everybody is gonna be happy. [...] They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
This is manifestly stupid but I need people to understand that there is very little in the world so universally enjoyable that you can replace "negotiate their own insurance" in that sentence and everyone will be excited.
This is esp a fallacy in FOSS:
"They're actually able to go out & own their own data"
"They're actually able to go out & choose their own server"
