Apparently, the aliens in Independence Day did.

Ancient principle, the work expands to fill the time.

Whether can be a lawsuit depends on the laws of the country. Creating a fake id is universal.

It would probably work better on them. The under 15 crowd will be quicker to find a way around it.

They supported them, but I do not think that they ever actually made a formal declaration of war as required by the Constitution. It has been suggested that the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was an effective declaration of war in Viet Nam, but that is certainly debatable. Korea, for example, was a "police action" under the cover of the UN. The US has also done any number of "interventions" in Central America, but none of them involved a declaration of war. In fact, the whole idea could be considered a dead letter, because the Congress has abdicated its authority in this as in so many other matters.

I would go with most of the above. But if that is true, then they were not taught the right things. The right things may have been in the course material, but they did not learn it.

The problem is short term thinking. Maximizing short term profit at the cost of long term is a stupid game, but the system incentivizes it. I was working for a company that used a lot of contract people in the lab (their abuse of that is a different story). One quarter, we failed to meet the income goals that they had promised Wall Street (we still making tons of money, just not as much as they projected). Our CEO immediately ordered that all contract employees where to be immediately laid off. I was doing a time critical project with the assistance of one contract employee. Friday evening, I get a call from them that they have been laid off. Monday my immediate boss asks me, if this will affect the project. What was I supposed to tell him, the person had already been told they had been laid off. Within a few weeks almost all of the contract people had been rehired or replaced, because the work could not be done without them.

If all of this is true. Why did the MBAs I worked with act the way they did?

I suspect you have an MBA. I have merely worked with and for them. The business schools that train them seem to be selling the management fad of the month. Everything seems to be driven by the need to make ever more money, which barring inflation is impossible.

Most of them seem to be. Not surprising given the material they were trained on.

Actually, I did read it. As far as I can determine, the Congress has never actually appropriated any money specifically for the Iran whatever it is. The military has been using up its ready supplies of material, and everyone is wondering how we are going to replace it. Not just the cost, but also the manufacturing capacity. The War Powers Act was put in place on the theory that in case of a nuclear attack, there would be no time to consult the Congress, not for this sort of conflict. Unfortunately, the Congress is so spineless and incompetent, that they have allowed Presidents (not just the current one) to do whatever they like without consquence.

MBAs have ruined more companies than any other cause. They are just glorified accountants and typically have no understanding of the actual business, products, or customers. They are the heart of the consulting firms that are constantly selling (at a very high price) the latest management fad. That is one profession that I expect could be replaced with an AI and no one would notice.

No argument on that.

We are probably talking about the site that the police use to check your license and registration, when they make a traffic stop. Do you want to go back to old days, when you would sit and wait for some clerk to look up the information manually?

Go read the Constitution. The War Powers Act, gives the President some powers that never should have been delegated, but it does not allow him to declare war. Only an act of Congress can do so.
