It's one of my favorite humans that I've ever met.
However, he boy, did he have like a hard upright upbringing.
did things allegedly that I think would curl most people's hair.
But when he found a path to go legit, he took it.
And it changed the course of his entire family's life.
And at his funeral, his family stood up and said that, like, we all know my dad was a gangster and meeting you changed the course of his life and changed the course of my family's life.
Like having somebody say that at their dad's funeral, one of the most like impactful moments of my life.
So I get it.
I've put my money where my mouth is with that.
At the same time, this guy who turned his life around was in the 2%.
The 98%, it did not matter.
They were stuck in a mindset that it is a tragedy that they found themselves raised in that way, that they would end up with that frame of reference.
But nonetheless, they had that frame of reference.
It was super destructive, deeply problematic, and ultimately had to be rooted out.
And so...
People just are not being realistic about these policies, who they attract, who's going to take advantage of it.
There will be some small percentage and it will be incredibly meaningful.
And so finding ways to find those people is magical.
But blinding yourself and going to bat for the 98 percent is fucking stupid because they are laughing all the way to robbing you blind.
Are you on that team of everybody knows what I'm going to say?
