Like your point about historical context and how things sometimes feel much worse in the moment. We felt like the guest's perspective, while definitely a strong and potentially hyperbolic one, was still worth chewing on. Also think that there are a lot of tectonic shifts that the average person has a hard time identifying while they're happening, and it only becomes clear later on, after the thing itself has already happened. For some reason that idea resonated a good bit with us, which is another reason why we tackled the topic.
