That's right.

Especially just a bachelor's degree.

A bachelor's degree is now just an entree to a master's or a PhD if you can fucking pay for it.

So at any rate, here's a person who now, he's got a career-ending injury, and usually an 18 to 21-year-old kid is not generally the most responsible individual with their money.

So let's say that they don't invest it in, uh, guaranteed muni bonds, and they've gone through a good portion of that money.

Now, Maria Cantwell and Raphael Cruz wanna legislate that person into poverty.

Why? What did they do to deserve it? Not only that, but what in the fuck, if you're going to limit how much an athlete can be paid, why is it not justified to also limit how much a fucking coach can be paid, how much an athletic director can be paid? They are not putting their bodies on the line, number one.

Like, wh- what, why does the government need to be part of this?

When you're confronted with the fact of death, which is something that most of us want to avoid, how does it shape your relationship to death? Does it make you more anxious about dying? Does it make you more accepting? Like, does it have an effect?

You know, I think it, in some sense, made me more aware of the practicalities of death.

And so I didn't really feel the way that most Americans feel, where they felt, uh, a distance, an incredible distance from death.

You know, I watched my father, or listened to my father, help grieving widows.

You know, I met with families when I was gonna bury their baby.

I mean, I wasn't in a position where I could be so far away that I could live the American way of death.

I was much more, you know, the death is part of life, it's part of how we live, and it's part of the natural cycle of this body of mine and yours.

Right.
