Hi, how are you?
gpt
Good. How are you?
human
I'm great. Do you follow government much?
gpt
Probably not as much as I should.  Did you know there was only one U.S. President with a Phd?
human
Sounds about right. I figure most of them don't really like school much. The last president to speak a foreign language was FDR.
gpt
That is interesting.  Do you think it odd that while many countries use the term president, the role of the president is different?
human
*hands at sides* I believe that. The powers vary with the constitution of the country. Generally though, I expect them to have money. The three wealthiest presidents in US history were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson. Surprised that Trump didn't make the list.
gpt
That does surprise me.  I would think Trump would make the list for sure.  I think countries where the president is mainly ceremonially, such as royalty, would have a hard time listing their wealthiest presidents. 
human
I guess the real power lies elsewhere. The US president's guest house is larger than the White House. Trump must be disappointed by that, unless he plans to rent out the guest house like a hotel. Or maybe AirBnB.
gpt
Well that is interesting.  I had no idea.  Maybe we could all have bigger houses if the U.S. government did away with income tax like Monaco.  
human
I wonder where Monaco gets money for the government then. Some governments seem to do better than others. In 2008 the government of Norway donated $1billion to help save the Amazon rainforest. I don't know how much that helps, but it's the right idea.
gpt
Monaco makes enough money off of their casino, and they were able to do away with income tax in 1869.  It is nice that the government of Norway has enough money to donate since some governments have had to be bailed out like the U.S. in 1895 by JP Morgan.

*leans forward* Until 1805, the runner-up in a US presidential election became the Vice President. That system would make for some interesting pairings these days. I wonder how it would work in Indonesia. Would the VP get to release a couple of pop albums?
gpt
I am not sure if that would work in today's current state of affairs.  Maybe the VP would get to release a couple of pop albums, and if the chicago alt-rock radio station's djs didn't reveal the VP was hte singer, one of the songs could become the most requested track like the hanson song which was. 
human
Sneaky DJs! They knew what they were doing! Probably wouldn't work if the songs were in Latin though.
gpt
It might make a little more difficult depending on the audience, but you never know.  I mean look at one of the most popular radio acts of the 1930s that was a ventriloquist.  
human
On the radio. Hm. Defeats the whole point of being a ventriloquist. I guess the content of the patter was funny?
gpt
*takes a step back* I am thinking it must have been.  I wonder if it was as interesting as Tom Wolfe's books, like the "The Right Stuff" and the "Bonfire of the Vanities?"
human
*body relaxes* Tom Wolfe lived a pretty good life. I haven't read his books, but many of them got made into films. Well, I've enjoyed chatting with you!
gpt
I think his books were a stark contrast to Serge Martin's book "The Agony of Modernization: Labor and Industrialization in Spain."  It's been nice chatting with you as well. 
human
*body relaxes* Thanks again!
gpt
*laughs* No problem.  It was nice chatting with you.
