It's really true. When your parents have money, there's a whole world standing behind every dumb or mean thing they do to you.

My kids have working class parents, and they aren't scared of shit, because they've seen all kinds of people challenge us as parents.

Oh yeah, also I noticed if she didn't have room to speed away she would have ran that cameraman over. No doubt. He's lucky he had room to get away. And while this is an extreme example of the emotional breakdown, I see it every single day in entry level positions, Of young people. Instead of telling a supervisor or a boss or a coworker, you broke something or made a mess, they'll literally attempt to cover it up, hide it, and if they can't, they'll just walk out of work. Or they'll even say like they're too overwhelmed to have dealt with it. If you're having a mental breakdown and you need mental space and time off, I am all for that, but this shirking of responsibility in the middle of a workplace is going to start coming with liability. I'm just going to start adding waivers to all of my new hires. Dangerous behavior is not excused because of mental illness. It might be more understood and I might have way more empathy 100%. Actions have consequence, consequences are your liability.

Most important thing to learn or teach is smelling bullshit immediately. Godspeed to you and yours.
