I was once the President of the United States of America.  There, I've said
it, so it must be true, right?

I was trying to be nice in my response but it's clear you don't understand
how large corporations work.  I assure you that many people who "retire"
don't do so voluntarily ... likewise, corporations also fire many people for
various political reasons and then {quitely) hire them back as consultants.

That said, given the tone of your response, there's clearly no point in
debating these points with you.  As they say, there's no point in wrestling
with a pig; you'll both end up covered in shit and the pig actually enjoys it!
