    The Conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI) played a key role in establishing a policy and regulatory path for an FCC under Republican Party control, led by Chairman Ajit Pai.

    When Ajit Pai was kicked out of the FCC spot he was hired by AEI to be a lobbyist.

    Fuck Ajit Pai and the people who put him in power.

      Fuck Ajit Pai and the people who put him in power.

      … and hire him for well-paying lobbyist jobs, where he has intimate knowledge of the people and systems involved.

      I aggravates me to no end that this is a thing for many bureaucrats … leave your gov’t position (likely with a full pension) and land a job that uses your insider info.
