Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.

If you have a friend or loved one who worked in IT, please avoid using the number '4' with them for the next 7-10 business days. If you do, it will be like saying '6-7' to a pre-teen but if the pre-teen was a sleeper agent triggered by small numbers.
