This is nuts.

We can’t choose our leaders based on how effective they are in hand to hand combat!

Stick with the current system: the one where we choose our leaders based on how much money they can raise.

Oh man… probably should have passed laws to regulate data harvesting and digital privacy back in the 90s

when the Internet was still just a series of tubes…

He has, ultimately, too much money for him to accidently experience a brush with sanity…

So… You’re saying we shouldn’t be giving the richest man in the world an animal tranquilizer along with unlimited power over our government?

I mean… we all have that friend who does mushrooms or drops acid and thinks they are the savior of the human race.

The only difference is that the next day they have to go work their shift at IHOP rather than waking up and being the richest person in the world.

Depression will rob you of joy, erode your appetite for life, and leave you blaming yourself for any/everything.

In those circumstances where you cannot defeat it, you can still outlast it.

Do what you can for yourself. When you can do no more, do what you can for the person you will be later, and, when you can do no more: forgive yourself.

Pretty sure that’s a mapmof the Inner Sphere…
