Fuck being a politician. They even have less time to fuck around than new business owners (and thenewgreen isn't wrong). No matter what they do their name will be drug through the mud. If you meet a politician or a prominent reporter look for the wariness in their eyes when you meet them, there is a trace of fear that they are about to get verbally assaulted by someone that hates their guts. No matter how hard they try to do the right thing they will end up necessarily fucking over some good people because that's how hard choices go. A great deal of their time is spent begging for money and that shit just isn't in my character. I love meeting them but I'd never want to be one.
