I always fantasized about getting absurdly rich and then walking away, but I always figured I’d die early, while I was still in the getting-absurdly-rich-and-also-miserable phase. It’s interesting too that he turns to a plea for common sense sustainability choices and improved government at the end. And the weed. Don’t forget the weed.
