      Yeah I’m always so stumped when someone taking bribes or other gifts is caught and they ruined their career for a five digit sum. I mean, what the fuck. At least have the dignity to sell yourself for a sum that actually changes your life

        4 million would change my life and it’s not like I have a meaningful career either. For me the real deal-breaker would be that it would get microsoft a datacenter.

          4m can certainly change a life, I’ll give you that. But when you’re already a powerful politician you will most certainly have a fantastic 6-7 digit income already anyway.

            No totally, they obviously would give some random with no influence 4 million lol, just adding that besides the amount there is also something to be said about the goal.
