I’m thinking it’s kinda like the Santa Claus racket,
where there are many subcontractors working
under the auspices of the Main Man, for photo ops
and to attend business openings and such.
I imagine it’s quite rare to get one-on-one time
with the the real McCoy (or McSquishy);
you usually have to settle for a “traveling cast”
in places like Solothurn and Schenectady.
