Yeah he's an elected official. That's what you mean?

Just like Equifax is trying to get out of screwing the public over as cheaply as possible. Don't pretend they are somehow victims or noble exemplars, or that you aren't just complaining about the status quo because it's politically expedient for you.

I've continuously argued for structural reforms, so does my argument now carry great weight?
It might if I knew what structural reforms you had been advocating for. But that's the problem with launching ad hominem attacks- people wonder what motive you had to go for the cheap shot.

Nowhere near the power or prestige of being a Governor or Senator in a state with 20 million citizens. Or a Mayor of a town with 9 Million citizens.

Rudy Giuliani, Andrew Cuomo, Elliott Spitzer, etc, etc.
