I do not understand why people liked that show. I hate Aaron Sorkin.

i love sorkin dialogue tbh

and the show had a real accessibility by mixing fancy grown up plot poo poo w episodic subplots that paralleled the episodes main plot so if you got lost or werent big on following the fancy plot you could still track what was happening because the govt and moral sturm und drang were indexed to a wacky donna/josh adventure about the census or w/e

The only episode that I ever saw of that show had a guy fly into a black hole while listening to Johnny Cash because he thought that the time dilation effects of extreme gravity would mean that he got to listen to Johnny Cash forever.

So just how dumb are those auto workers who voted down the union in Mississippi?

I know unions aren't perfect, but they are much better for workers than nothing. It's really amazing how this country has turned against unions even though without them we'd all be working seven days a week in terrible conditions for even shittier pay.
