MBAs are sheep. Blindly following the flock is what MBA schools teach them to do - and questioning conventional wisdom is strictly verboten.

Why else would they worship at the altar of stockholder supremacy, when transferring all their company's liquid assets to high-volume stock trading algorithms forces them to borrow money at commercial interest rates to fund their "investment" in AI, instead of using cash on hand for the purpose, and saving the interest payments for other investment purposes ... ?

Here's the thing that absolutely ruins Clone Wars - and every Star Wars production that includes military conflict, for that matter - for me:

It's blindingly obvious that neither George Lucas nor any of the other scriptwriters who have penned stories for one or another of the franchise's productions has any meaningful experience with or knowledge of actual military science. Every freaking battle scene is straight out of the Homeric Age. Significantly-sized forces simply advance straight toward one another, and all combat is basically hand-to-hand. Other than the Jedi, the combatants pretty much all have ranged weapons, but they don't even take advantage of cover as they advance. It's essentially all human wave (okay, droid wave) assaults, culminating in single combats at close quarters, over and over again.

That pitches me out of my willing suspension of disbelief, every time. It's obliviously stupid, and wrong, wrong, WRONG, and it just poisons the entire franchise for me.

Having said that, Andor was pretty damned good, as was Rogue One ...

That quote is from the notoriosly-corrupt 18th-century American politician Simon Cameron. And you misspelled the word "politician," btw ...

Sponsored by 4 first-term MAGA senators (a fifth had himself removed from the bill's list of sponsors after it was referred to committee). Speaking of which, the bill was referred to the Senate Health and Human Resources Committee on March 17th of last year, without thus far even having been given a pro forma hearing by the committee ...

We never went back to Luna because Nixon hated the manned space program. It was strongly associated with JFK (whom Nixon also hated), and Nixon's telephone call to the Eagle's crew while the world watched the original Moonwalk on live TV didn't change the public perception that the technological triumph of the 20th century was Kennedy's accomplishment, not his.

Since the manned space program was important to the defense industry's bottom line (and their contributions to Republican lawmakers made them politically indispensible), Tricky Dick couldn't afford to simply choloform it, so he directed NASA to concentrate its manned spaceflight efforts on LEO missions like Spacelab and publicity stunts like Apollo/Soyuz. A fresh programe of manned missions to Luna was thereby relegated to "nice to have, maybe someday" - and, gradually, the voters forgot it had ever seemed important ...

DarkOx lied:

Except that, due to generations of gerrymandering at the state level, very close to 2/3 of state legislatures are firmly in the claws of the Republican party, which would guarantee permanent GOP control of the Senate, with a large enough majority to allow the them to amend the Constitution at whim.

What was that about "frankly anti-democratic behavior" again ... ?
