And I felt terrible because I've thought of this shit, like, a lot. Like, I've thought of it enough times to go do the research and let me tell you, if you're going to get hit by any vehicle and you're trying to get paid out, this shit needs to belong to the city, okay? Like, if I could get hit by a Seattle bus or, like, a school bus, even that'd be dope
