the irony of all those guys, who he wouldn't hire, having to deal with the only people who would be in a position to hire them being a bigoted lower-teir cabal, the 'dumb cousin' middle manager type who is put above even the smartest of those, in every company like his. The dumb one of them is always above even the genius engineer non one of them, who is always treated like 'the help.'
the curse of being a a garden variety ruling class-hole.
you come from the rulers but they know you're an imbicile so they put you in charge of looting companies they buy, and firing all the competent people who aren't of their type.
of what type is that?
anyone who has worked in engineering in the US knows exactly what type of people I'm talking about.
