Whenever people complain about the lump sum payment amount I make some sound that’s a combination of a laugh and an audible cringe. “It’s only $150 million!” is some weird shit to say.

Reminds me of that scene in The Big Short, Jamie and Charlie talking about how their company is currently operating with $30 million, and the JP Morgan guy makes them feel like utter losers at life because it’s not the $1.5 billion they need for an ISDA. I just balked at that scene, shouting at the screen, “What is wrong with you two! You’ve won at life!”
