I like it. I'm not sold on Gay having to leave though. What if he agreed to go full-time? He's proven recently with CaliBurger he still can get it done.
Parsi is toxic though. I - and others - would gladly organize against him. How do we make this happen?
In your scenario, the more we want him out, the more we will be willing to pay (theoretically). Damn, he actually has a slight incentive to piss us off.
