I have come to expect that those who hold power don't relinquish it on a silver platter so there will be a catch.

Another salient point right there, @trumanity. Permit me to add that most relinquish power, but not without a prize on steemit. That is the idea of leasing delegated steam power (DSP). Please, go take your meds. and stay healthy. Thanks for your contribution. Cheers.
