Would you be able to look at your friends in a run like that and say "sorry, guys, I already got mine and I'm not letting The Man dictate my work." I'm going to Ohio.


If it were affecting my state of mind and/or mental health? Yes absolutely.

Why does he owe a debt to the people who worked on the show, even if they were friends? I'm assuming they were compensated for their work. I can't imagine that Chappelle promised them they would get rich.

At the end of the day these are jobs we're talking about. I would not lower my quality of life just so a few people I know could have a job a little longer.

I'd argue you lower your quality of life and mental health for others constantly. We all do. Nobody owes anybody. That's not how the world works and that's not what is being said. Anyone can walk from anything, family included.

There are people sitting in horrific marriages for their kids sake, financially speaking.

If you're gonna be the star, and it's all hinged to you, you accept responsibility for many lives. This is the reality of the world and it's why we say CEOs are worth their weight, they carry that burden.
