    Why athletes? People attack athletes all the time and ignore that the team owners make $ with a B instead of an M. CEOs do far less for their organization than athletes and make far more money.

      Was thinking about this in the context of a joke I heard in the late 90s:

      What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start.

      We didn’t we have jokes like that about the billionaires; at the time people were glazing Bill Gates. It’s wild because billionaires are the ones writing the laws, lawyers just act it out.
