Those foundations are rolling in dough, and nobody has to work very hard. They just get paid for who they know, and show up at the office every now and then. Teach a class, give a lecture, write a book. Seriously, lobbying is hard work and the boss expects results. For somebody like Ryan, he can land a cushy job as a consultant, f*** that!

It shows up correctly, 17 minutes on the phone, but not my computer. WTF?
I replaced it from the computer.
