Actually, can I retract that question? Doesn’t seem so likely for someone in this age group.

I would argue that Warren Buffet is "associated with politics". He was an advisor to Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California, he made huge financial contributions to Barack Obama and gave speeches in support. And he very publicly repeatedly challenged Donald Trump over his tax returns.
I think it's arguable, but I disagree. Most people would not say Buffet is associated with politics, and the opening paragraphs of his Wikipedia page doesn't mention politics at all. Or we could go full Balki and decide that anyone who has voted is associated with politics.
The “Full Balki is simply asking clear, objective questions and trying to make sure you are asked clear, objective questions, so we don’t have to argue about what is ruled in and out. But I agree that the Full Balki would help solve this issue.
I just want to say for the record that this post is neither clear nor objective. There are so many different interpretations depending on what is ruled to come before or after the endquote! But I agree that the Full Balki would never have let this happen.

I should have asked for clarification when the question was asked, but politics is so the last thing I think of when I think of this guy that I just answered no. If Jaime wants to rephrase/clarify what "associated with politics" means, I will re-answer the question and not count it as another question (but I bet the answer is still no.)

Yup, it's the Woz, Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, engineer, and inventor. Nice work!

It looks like supi13 got his guess in *just* before Balki did. So close!
