the supposed precedent is that when Nixon saw the end coming he was reduced to drunkenly stumbling around the White House having maudlin, self-pitying conversations with the paintings, and Kissinger advised the Joint Chiefs to double-check any instructions with him first just in case the president did something regrettable

you can go all the way back to washington who was said to enjoy being shot at in battle because he believed himself to be invincible every one of them has been nuts, it seems that it's a prerequisite to successfully running for president

The system works!

Having the codes inside a dude just makes that dude a security liability because someone else can kill that dude too and then what, do you surgically implant another dude or are there backups? At what point does the president say "too many dudes are being killed, doctor, give me the code" Like who authorizes the doctor that's tattooing these codes anyway? Just loving abscond with his surgical USB drives, wala

I could imagine security through obscurity where there are like three different dudes on the president's body detail over the course of a week that are all "murder to nuke" flagged but our current president would absolutely out them on national TV/Twitter

FFT posted:Having the codes inside a dude just makes that dude a security liability because someone else can kill that dude too and then what, do you surgically implant another dude or are there backups? At what point does the president say "too many dudes are being killed, doctor, give me the code" here's the quote quote:My suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry with him a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the President. If ever the President wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The President says, "George, I'm sorry but tens of millions must die." He has to look at someone and realize what death is—what an innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It's reality brought home. so presumably this guy would be accompanying the president all the time and protected by the secret service just like the guy who's currently in charge of carrying around the nuclear football except that apparently it would need to be the same guy 24/7 and also the code can't be changed daily like it is now

Percentage of state population that lives in urban areas: National average 75 Ohio 74 Minnesota 69 Colorado 82 Missouri 68 Texas 80 Utah 87 Those are mostly at random but here's every state that was under 50% Maine 44 Mississippi 47 Vermont 32 West Virginia 36 There are 64 non ag workers for every ag 1 so every pundit that tries to cast salt of the earth farmers as "typical" in 2019 is just completely full of poo poo, no matter how they try to get there.
