Oh I understand that, believe me. I've lived in places far more corrupt than Miami even, for many years in South America.
I understand that game. But you never, ever, ever **** off the public. That is the kiss of ******* death. You keep your **** handled behind closed doors. Even the prime minister of Iran, even the African warlords who steal the 75 cents per day you donate to UNICEF.... even they kiss babies and shake hands.
If you want power of any kind in this world, you have to be popular.
Maybe you're right though. Maybe he's just a moron, putting his company at risk because his ego was bruised. Trying to play the political game and failing badly because he's amateur hour.
Doesn't really matter for now, I guess.
