addendum to Lobbying:
4 years pass ... "<Name>! long time no see? oh you're out of office? Great! we have a cushy consulting position you should apply for, you're a shoe in!"
- didgetmaster 4y agoAlso..."Hey we are holding a conference and we would love to have you come speak for a half hour at <Big Event>. How does a $100K speaking fee sound to you?"
- chiefalchemist 4y agoMoi? That's more akin to veiled bribery. In the immediate they're promised an extremely lucrative *completely legal* payoff later. There's little actaul work, the pay is ridiculous, expenses covered, children get internships, etc. All legal...if you vote for hamburger today.
