Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

    Doing illegal drugs is at least as dumb a choice as getting into debt to get an education.

            The presented scenario was comparing not forgiving loans to not releasing people for drug convictions. I don’t see how you can say going into debt for an education was a poorer choice than risking a conviction and jail time for weed.
