We have allowed a situation to develop in which it is legal for a multibillion dollar industry to own, wholly and in perpetuity, the intimate and personal details of children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Having children is one of the most passionate and involving bits of business in human life.
You have to teach children about money intentionally - create teachable moments.
Children must be considered in a divorce considered valuable pawns in the nasty legal and financial contest that is about to ensue.
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
Generosity has built America. When we fail to invest in children, we have to pay the cost.
Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and paid forward for the next kid who comes along.
Marketers are out there trying to figure out how to get your money out of your child.
I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.
We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.
We have very specific rules about how we go to market with children, and I think they are very responsible.
