(I was going to write about TK. Ironically, it feels like the country lost someone who understands how folks like Goldman play the game (and, indeed, could have easily played on that side), but yet decided to use those talents and privileges for those who did not have them because, as he figured out, the game is if not rigged, very difficult to play.)

It would have been prudent on their part to at least make some grandiose gesture such as large monetary contribution to relevant charitable entity and/or their management personnel (at least) pledging to volunteer - say for Habitat for Humanity.
With all the money I'm sure they are spending for PR firm's product, sure not getting anything of quality, but then.............
Appreciate. Rec'd.

Come on Rumpole. The good man, out of concern for his nation, decided to keep his 'comp' under 70 million.
