There's also all the backend that he doesn't care about. The power and the materials required for those robots and digital intelligences comes from a place, it doesn't just materialize as parts for your stupid Optimus.

I appreciate his continual commitment to being a guy that needs to be hit with a brick. Really impressive work to be this much of a shitbag consistently.

The answer is actually, at least for some, "simply live at work instead". I think Walmart or Amazon were trialing pod-living-spaces for employees at warehouses.

I have bad news for how the Nuremberg trials generally wound up.

He did this in the first term as well - float a guy as acting whatever, then just shovel them out the door when someone says "hey why is this sketchy dude an AG".

Literally we've been watching Trump do it for a year and a half. He can absolutely tell them "get shit in gear on this or you're out".

Well you have to build your apocalypse bunker compound in a scenic area with a beautiful view, otherwise what's the point?

Different method of action, but yes. Turns out coating your entire GI tract in an impermeable film for a day or so is a bad idea.

Maintenance Phase did an episode on it a while ago, well worth a listen.

This is common and a literal conservative tactic called "starving the beast". You strangle off funding to a thing you wanna cut, wait a couple months for the service to go to shit because they have to realign to compensate for having no money, and then go "wow look this sucks, better just kill it".

Reagan did it in the 80s.

The worse part is that this is totally dependent on who your insurance is, and you don't know prices on anything until the bill shows up 3 months later. You or your doctor also might have to fight your insurance to prove a procedure is necessary, or that a medication needs to be covered. Most times you can expect your procedure to not be covered, so you have to tell the insurance company that yes, this is covered, here's why it was necessary (usually this first round of rejection is done via having an algorithm or ML setup "review" the case).

From what I understand, some forms of dementia can affect the limbic system, causing a forward lean. Combine that with his lifts...

See, here's the thing, we would've heard about it. Trump and all his ilk can't keep their fucking mouths shut and would've been lording this shit over us. Someone would've said SOMETHING, because none of these people can keep a secret.
