    if someone lit Chris Hayes on fire, it would be okay not to put him out because stopping the immolation would be bad for ratings

      You don’t know that we should focus group it and decide.

        is that possible without a control group, or would he have to be bisected and then only one half of him soaked in kerosene

          Maybe we could just light him up and people put up their hands when they want him put out.

              I don’t, fuck science. Bunch of nerds just come up with problems, never any solutions.

              Nobody likes that guy, stupid science jerks.

                Stupid science idiots made the bomb and then got real depressed about it. What did you think was going to happen? Literally stick in your own bike spokes meme.

                Fucking hell, if they hadn't done that, the Soviet Union probably would have had postwar control of Asia instead of the US military. Do you have any idea how much communism we'd have?

                  The soviets would have invaded Japan.

                  Might have made the Americans even more insane.

                  even a project delay of six months would have changed things a lot

      I mean, that's capitalism for you.

      I wouldn't piss on you if you were burning, because I can get better ROI on my pee elsewhere.
