      Oh, assumed that’s what they paid you to sit and tolerate an hour with this couch fucking scumbag.

      Would wait outside this thing and sell extended warranties at ridiculous prices. It’s ripe with people that are both rich and really dumb.

      “You have been deemed rich/important enough that we’ll allow you to bribe us”

      Let’s be honest, that’s what this is. It’s rich people paying money to talk to those with political power. It’s a method of ensuring that those with political power can get a crapload of money in exchange for “listening to the grievances” of a select few. It’s an arrangement for connecting people with power and money more closely, while excluding the common masses from the rooms where decisions are made. It’s… corruption.
