Yeah, I know they have to follow their script, so I just play along. And honestly, it’s not as if I’ve never made a stupid mistake before, like accidentally leaving something unplugged.
OK, who are you voting for, then?

Nice one.
Historically the Republican candidates have demonstrated enviable party discipline and fallen in line after the nominee has been chosen, but Trump and the rest of the MAGA crowd have shown themselves to be so duplicitous that they won’t even honor agreements made with other Republicans. The more mainstream candidates like Pence may just figure that this time around there’s nothing in it for them, that they won’t get anything from Trump in return for their endorsement, not even goodwill.
Trump tweeted that Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”
Trump is so unprincipled that he managed to get it exactly backwards. January 6 is the one time Pence actually stood up and did the right thing. I loathe the man, but I won't deny him credit where it's due. I can't even begin to imagine the level of chaos if he had gone along with Trump and his followers and refused to certify the 2020 election results.

It actually sounds a lot like a novel from the early 60s called The Big Ball of Wax that was written by Shepherd Meade, the author of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. It’s about a middle management drone who stumbles on the development of the technology Roddenberry describes.
The initial users of the new technology prefer to have virtual experiences and have stopped buying anything but the basics needed to stay alive and healthy. The corporation the main character works for is terrified that it’s going to go broke and the larger economy is going to collapse if consumers stop consuming.

Yeah, I'm old enough to have watched Enterprise when it was first aired, and I always went to grab a snack from the kitchen or something while the theme played.
