They are pesky, unwanted, parasitic creatures who annoy people until you get fed up enough to swat them away. <br /><br />Flies do something else, too... Where you find crap (or crappy ideas), flies reproduce and lay eggs that turn in to maggots. So even if you swat and annihilate the fly, there will soon be more engorged (or well-funded) flies swarming.<br /><br />Petrilli is the literal fly that lives at the dumpsters behind the homes and foundations of the billionaires like Gates, Broad, and Walton. Desperately watching for the lucrative crumbs he can have if he plays his cards right. Whispering in the ears of these out-of-touch billionaires that they "are riiiiight, keeeep feeedfunnding me and I will convince the world to believe in your delicious ideas. My fake Fordham Institute will poop important-looking papers for you; we will blog on your greatness; and if you need us, we will even travel to whatever state Capitol you need us to teeestify. We just love whispering in politicians ears; they smell so good, like moneeeey. I will throw fancy galas that make you feeeel important and riiiighteouuus. With my mesmerizing swarm cloud of fellow flying maggots, people will not see reality or ask for proooof. I will do the dirty work for you. Thank you, Master, for the millionsssss$$$ of dollars you have fed us."
