35. Appeasing the masses
He lets us go through the motions of influencing his plan.

It keeps us occupied, makes us feel like real life activists, keeps us from acting out in worse ways. It allows us to have buy-in while he gets to do what he was planning to do all along. I've had bosses who did that before, big elaborate surveys given to employees before they went ahead and did the same thing they were gonna do without the surveys.
