I don't think whoever wrote the part you quoted read Atlas Shrugged because that's not the context you'd use being John Galt in. Nitpicking aside, he went too far and the powers that be cut him off. He needs to be able to pay his bills without requiring a job under them. I met him several times before. He used to be a local anchor in a town I used to live in. He was a pretty cool guy.
