Given how you are going to have to pay more taxes in order to keep the Donald safe from harm, insanity might actually be the better alternative.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Certainly some would think it insane, but if ever a year needed a hard reset, it's 2016.


Do you know how much chaos that would cause with all the date based systems in the world? The databases I monitor at work all have very specific date-based functions and if they get duplicate dates in them they freak-out. The fact it was a leap year this year caused some problems, so if they see 01-01-2016 in the system date again I swear it will cause them to melt down completely.

So - even though I can see the point - I really do NOT want to live this year over, because the database administration ramifications would literally drive me crazy :)

A. It's 2016. The whole thing has been a shitshow from the start and it'll most certainly end as such.
