So I got a job at this company back in the day that did phone and email customer service for other companies.
I was one of the last people they ever hired. Me and 7 other people were shown to our cubicles that had brand new Dell sff computers and peripherals in their boxes.
We were told the IT guys were off or on sick leave and I offered to try and set the machines up at least to save time. With the help of the others we plugged everything in and then kinda sat there all day doing nothing.
Next day we all show up for work and we see people carrying boxes out of the building. Turns out the owner was neck deep in debt and just dissappeared, people were told they shouldn't be expecting any more paychecks or bother suing.
Basically the manager told everyone to just sort of take whatever they want home and everyone just took their work PC home. Me and 7 other people basically got a free PC for half a day's work, others got shafted though...
All I'm trying to say here is maybe DON'T SELL NUCLEAR AIRCRAFT CARRIER REACTORS to private companies that are 100% going to go tits up soon when yet another tech bubble bursts and those reactors end up being sold on AliExpress?
Sounds like you just hate freedom and progress.
No problem, got my eyes on a Trident missile.
Make sure to get the PAL code for the nuke, too.
I got an old NES GameGenie around here somewhere we can hack it with. We can hook it up to an AI! No... I can hook it up to an AI. Power over life and death feels like a toy. My toy.
