Dario wishes he was the grifter Altman is. He's like a kirland brand grifter compared to Altman. Altman is a generational level talent when it comes to grifting.

Someone always makes this kind of comment and I've always found it being pretty middle-brow. I think there's a classic comment that the USA spends more on potato chips than on lobbying. I think the best explanation is that there&#
