HR Handbook for autocrats, section 1: Utilization of Dangerous Loose Cannons
If you’re a mobster who finds himself in charge of a country, the use of Dangerous Loose Cannons can be quite useful in carrying out your agenda. In this section we’ll discuss practical tips on attracting and retaining these useful followers.
First, you have to find some Dangerous Loose Cannons.

It’s best if your prospects have had some serious issues and are down on their luck - they’ll be grateful that you notice them and the on-boarding process will be markedly expedited.
The next step is to make the Dangerous Loose Cannons indebted to you. Take them to galas. Invite them to golf. Give them laundered money to spend. Make them believe they can hold elected office. Help them escape justice.
Footnote: if they actually end up running for office, be sure to get voter data and anything else that’s useful.
After the Dangerous Loose Cannons are fully invested in your operation, casually mention how you’d be so happy if x would happen; if *only* it were possible.
If Dangerous Loose Cannon is caught doing X, simply say you’ve never heard of him, and/or let the system take care of him.
