In all things we do, we ape the corpocracy. As the Five Faces, we are the CEOs of Junktown. All of the CEOs of the corps directly beneath us, such as the Tangerines or the Labor Dolls, are in fact our Shareholders. All of the sub-corps of these gang corporations are in fact our Citizens. The rest are merely employees, though they all believe they run their own hustle. The Citizens vote for Shareholders, the Shareholders vote for CEOs, and to stay in power, we buy their vote. I wished to make my position as a Face chronic so as to avoid the poisonous laze which the constant bribery and need for funds presents while real work remains to be done. Wallop refuses to see the overlap in duties of our positions and the positions of those in the corpocracy proper. It is perhaps due to his pride that he is different, that he is better, that his pursuit of wealth is somehow more nobler than it might be if he were to pursue wealth in the corporate world. But all pursuits of wealth are ignoble. There is no nobility to wealth; there can be nothing noble about pursuits which have no end.
