Doesn't Michael sound like an utter prat? No small potatoes grants with his money! And none of it for those starving wretches across the border. Can't take any burden off the government, either.

They are so droll, you know.

Venkatesh met this fellow at Harvard. Legacy preferences at work, no doubt.
