Nah people aren’t considering other things that comes along with that employment. Insurance is a big one. If someone if your family has cancer or if you have a special needs kid the cost is astronomical. Turner also probably has the “good insurance” that actually opens doors for better level of treatment, childcare, coaching, etc.

If you’ve ever met parents with special needs kids its brutal. It’s a constant race against time trying to get the kid to each developmental milestone in time. They know once they lag behind there’s no “catching up” and the odds are stacked against them.

This is probably a huge factor on Barkley’s mind since Ernie’s son is/was special needs.
