Neglect

 If you're Steve Bannon monologuing outside in 95 degree weather while wearing 4+ layers of shirts, just for the sake of consisency, shouldn't you also be wearing multiple layers of pants? 

Like boxers, a couple layers of Spanx, a pair of skinny jeans under your trousers and chaps over that? 

This just seems lazy and very neglectful of your legs.

Value For Money

 When you get the chance, rewatch the 1994 Keanu Reeves movie Speed. Dennis Hopper holds an elevator hostage for $3M, when Keanu and Harry from Dumb and Dumber stop him he destroys one city bus, holds another ransom for $3.7M. A bus costs about $500K. They destroy two. Plus an airplane and a train. Plus all the damage to private property the bus causes. The plane alone is in the ballpark of $50M and Dennis Hopper is only asking for $3.7M? Even in 1994 dollars this is just bad economics. 

I like Graham Yost's writing. I'll even give him a pass for writing Speed 2 because Justified is great. But asking for only $3.7M so that Dennis Hopper can deliver great one-liners and  clean-shaven John Wick can shoot the hostage is just a disappointment. Somebody doesn't know what he's worth.

Independence Day

 "The second day of July 1776 will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty." - John Adams. 

Because while you're busy banning math books and worrying about CRT, you've been wrong on history since it was still current events.
