Why Matt Damon Should Fire My Son Jim, from Gene Epstein
A section of this brief Reason TV video on Matt Damon went viral.
Memo to Matt:
Matt, as for that "lousy cameraman" (Jim Epstein), would you fire him if he were shooting your movie?
No, I'm sure you'd keep him on because his salary is "shitty" compared to yours. And besides, firing people is what CEO's do!
Matt, I'm sure you send your kids to public schools. Exercising school choice–which charter schools and vouchers might allow poor people to engage in almost as much as rich people like you–is also striclty for the CEO's of this world.
*Please *don't tell me you send your kids to private schools! Isn't that what CEO's do?
