This may explain why I will never be in a position to make such a decision, but I have never understood why people worth tens of millions of dollars or more continue working, regardless of what field they are in.

With any luck, he’ll soon forget which team he played for.

The Social Justice Warrior is largely a construct (a myth not a mister) of the anti-movements so they can have yet another “feminine” to rage against. I have no energy for these people.
