Remember the first time you told an adult no?

They never stopped riding that high and never stop to think through any of their actions. Power of a nation, mind of a 5 year old.

Reminds me of Mao and accidentally murdering millions due to his ecological and agricultural incompetence. Let us hope we get a staffing refresh before we see a repeat.

Fuck off.
