    This is the way you bribe politicians now. Somewhere along the line dinners are had and promises of future jobs are made, then you do your work like a good little greedypieceofshitjackass, leave government, and end up on some board of directors or what have you in the industry you helped make money through your actions in government.

    Bribery is illegal, employing ex-government officials and giving them gigantic salaries isn’t… :(
