As we have seen in the past year, any deals/negotiations etc with the Government is like dealing with North Korea. The government is made of a bunch of narcissistic liars with the only goal of expanding and controlling as many people as it can. We saw this in the negotiations on the AMA "Rule" Everything that was negotiated was promptly ignored by the Government and they grabbed more power by conveniently ignoring the law written by congress stating that "modeling activities governed by the AMA were exempt from any rules and regulations buy the FAA." The problem is not with the AMA but the crack smoking, lying, cheating, stealing government representatives.
