| It's sad, really... You work really hard in school. You make good decisions, you take hard classes, you manage to achieve a pretty good record of grades and achievements. But you're on the outside; you don't make the same networking connections others do. You find yourself left behind as the cream is skimmed off the top and plucked away for top slots in government, the corporate world, and so on.
But you want it; you desire it; you feel this sense of entitlement that you -- like them, like the smart, honorable ones -- deserve the chance to set policy, to attach your name you ideas and have people pay attention to you.
But what are your options? Through chance, perhaps an introduction at a party (the sort of introduction you wish you'd received 10 years ago), you become aware of organizations that exist to try and muscle their way into the corporate and government worlds from the outside. "It's brilliant!" you think. The boys and girls who left you behind so many years ago will now pay YOU to say important-sounding things, to stand in front of the microphone and let your voice be heard! Now people will recognize you for who you are!
...and indeed, we do. Out-classed, out-maneuvered, and exposed as paid whores, charlatans, and liars. Not by the elites above you you so desperately try to emulate, but by us regular shmoes just trying to put two and two together. | | |

People are hired only if their ideology follows the cooperation's ideology. Kind of like the way FCC commissioners make decisions that pave the way to a nice job as a lobbyist when they get leave their government job.
Looking back over my life, I could be making $200,000 a year if I played my cards right. I might have been probably was a slut when I was younger, but I was never a whore. | |
