"I don’t believe every politician is inherently evil and self-serving," she said. "Of course, it is a profession that attracts sociopaths and narcissistic personality types, but overall, I believe governments do more help than harm. However, if you extrapolate that it is clear our current government hasn't fixed this problem"—she gestured at the tents behind her—"because they don’t know how. To reach their office, most politicians have to make a career out of it, and as a result are far removed from the cutting edge of technology. It’s on that thin edge I believe an answer to the unemployment problem will be found. Cortex was small when I joined, but I did my apprenticeship and saw mankind’s destiny. Only then was I ready to run for office. The money you refer to came as a byproduct of that work, not as a result."
