Betting on Father Time

Goldman has been investing in and dealing viaticals for a long time. Look it up. This is nothing new.

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.

Yeah, but I'm having fun watching the GS haters go nuts.
