I don't think there's much point in going on since you seem purposely intent on missing the point in favor of literalism.

Ok, change it to an NFL player instead of a banker, instead of forcing a way to discredit the analogy. (Which, honestly, is a cheap way out of discussing the point.)

"You must have kids when you are uncertain you want to have kids!" makes even less sense.

Her popularity is primarily with US libertarians, which are mostly rightwing-aligned and funded by laissez-faire billionaires, and desperate for content to popularize. Also, she was rather dogmatic, which both attracts some strongly and alienates others.

"Timmy, before denying the ice cream theft, note our drone footage at 7:43 PM. While some claim it violates Katz, we argue your backyard sundae was in plain view. Do you assert a reasonable expectation of privacy in this dessert-related precedent?"

We'll get a prequel and a one-season-per-backstory in some order. This is how you milk a franchise now.

This is still veiled and cagey. Exactly what information did Musk reveal that is relevant to the point? Do you think Musk is an unbiased, objective, and complete source of information?

They all do. Can you be more explicit about the specific point you are making here?

They aren't pathetic, supine people. They are active participants. They think they'll bank big on this somehow.

I didn't know a complete lack of interest in governing and seeing the Office as a vehicle for vast personal enrichment meant "realist" to you. Good to know.
