It came home to me... When I left graduate school for five years, I farmed. And one year, I remember, as I've said, I went to the Federal Land Bank and the old crusty loan officer looked at all of my books and he said, well, as much as I can see, given your losses farming, you paid about $25 an hour for the hours you work.

Do you like paying to get on your old tractor and sit in the sun and disc all day? Because that's what you did. And then I looked at my social security for five years and my income net to me as a salary, there were three of us and we each took a little hours. We paid ourselves $6 an hour. I made about $6,000.

So then I go to Cal State Fresno and I start part-time, part-time, full-time after a third year. So I'm sitting in a lounge my first third year. I was so happy, $21,000 a year and medical benefits. four classes to teach. I was writing a book. And here I will not mention anything about the person talking. He is now deceased. But it was a 60-ish professor, and he was angry.

I was making 21 and had already published one book and was publishing another. He had never published a thing. He was a nice guy, but he was saying that – It was so unfair that he'd only got a two and a half percent step increase. And I just politely said, well, we only work 30 weeks a year. And I said, you come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays and you teach a night class and then you teach.

So you're home Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. You know, that stuff. I'm preparing classes. I'm correct. I said, I do that, too. But I also farm. And my point is, I tried to say to this lifelong who had never worked in the public sector, I tried to say, do you know what it's like not to have a check in the mail?

Do you know that a guy with a pizza parlor or a truck driver, he has no idea. There is no some Oz behind the screen that writes him a check. He doesn't know whether he's making money or he's not making money until he looks at his books at the end of the week or into the month or the end of the year. For all he knows, everything is up there.

He doesn't know how many people he can have a great day at the pizza parlor and 100 people can come in. He can have two people. Two people. But he had to stay there for 10 hours. But one day he'll make $8 an hour. The next day he'll be $100. That is the uncertainty that most people have. And to just act as if you have a God-given birthright to these jobs.

And then most people who are on salary, they go into their office. And if they're late or they do something, the boss fires them. And there is no appeal. They're gone. Jamie Dimon, the head of, as we talked about, Morgan Chase Stanley. Is that what it was? Yes.
