But neither of those things matter because its not a problem anyone is actually trying to solve, they're just doing Flash's favourite thing and spending money that isnt theirs to purchase 'Political Capital.'
I like this new cynical Locke.

Also, I demand a life of luxury and convenience, so I'm going to require more money to make ends meet. I'm setting my living wage at $10,000 per hour. I promise I'll be a good consumer once the government starts supplying me with the money.
