When you look at the value of entertainment, it is obvious that we as a society value entertainment highly. But there is no reason that these athletes, who are here to just entertain us, get paid higher wages than those that save our lives and teach us such as medical doctors and teachers do.

However, if everything came together appropriately, Goldstein could forcibly close the discount and earn an exceptional return wen he has free reign over the fund's strategy.
