I would never allow any potential client ask me ANY political questions. Not because I like any political figure but because I am trying not to encourage fucking thought control. I hope we are not on Nazi Germany yet. It is just simply not their fucking business. On the other hand if they offer me a million in cold hard cash just for that I would tell then anything they want to hear.
The punchline of the joke isn’t that it’s weird to put a price on X, but that it makes it rather hollow to start that same paragraph with four different variations of “I would never do X!”.
It’s kind of like an Abbott and Costello routine. I would never do that! How dare you suggest that. You’re a commie. The scum of the earth. I’m above that. Gimme five bucks I’ll do it right now.
