Given this, how would a narcissist businessman, desperate for fame and to be remembered as a great president govern? He has at least five stupid policies, surely one must work? No?

Some of us political right wingers here are erudite as well. Read the texts on how democracy fails. Thought it would be just theoretical, but here we are doing the practical.

Mr Branson. After reading a number of your posts I have upgraded my opinion of you from 'rich idiot' to 'rich non-idiot'. Though I can never forgive you for Tubular Bells.

Because this is democracy. Policies have very little to do with it. Sound bites and fuzzy feelings are all that matter. Have you checked who the president is lately?

Politicians and elections have been bought since America became a democracy. Don't be mad at Mushy just because he's good at it. (Although I think he's now figured out he bought a sack of shit).

2 years time, when the factory is complete, we will see how far automation has gone (and of what it is capable). Because it's easier to not pay a machine than it is to pay a human.

So, is this game just quote ancient texts and include David Seymour being shot out of an old time circus cannon. Or are there other rules?? What's the literary cut off date?

It seems most people didn't watch the clip. He clearly references those screws being put in in an automated fashion. Factories will be automated. So the jobs will be maintaining the automated factory. Not the job resurgence promised but at least the factory owners will do well out of it.
