If I give you a million dollars, and in return you have to give me 50K a year, that's gonna sound like a pretty sweet deal if you need the capital. But is I say I'm gonna call back in my loan money if your state doesn't end slavery, well that's gonna put a shit tons of ugly pressure on the bank and its investors and the elite who depend on that cash flow. If you say, whatever, we'll just sell off our investments and give you your money back, well they may invest in your competitor, and you've just double fucked yourself.

He hated everything.
