I feel the same -- they all meet in cabal type meetings to divvy up the GDP.
Gaes agreed to require all new hardware with the new Losedoze (10), cuz the
hardware manufacturers felt he was getting too much of the pie. . .

Might be why someoner wrote it.

Be a good one for Callahan's one Punday Monday (ever read Spider Robinson's
"Callahan's" series; if you like puns & scifi it's an amazing set of stories 
& a couple full length novels. . .

He pays homage to some of his favorite stories & authors including R.A.
Heinlein's cat who walks through walls making several appearances.

In one story they take a dozen school buses & convoy down to Florida from
their original homes in NYS, stoppoing off to watch a shuttle launch, &
visiting Travis McGee's pier mooring in Key West.
