Good morning, do you follow politics?
gpt
A bit
human
I think these days it's crossed over into the realm of general entertainment, since the President has a tweet for everything. Thank God he doesn't give addresses over the radio!
gpt
So what do you think about the president?
human
I think it's funny that he claims to know how to run a country just because he's been a wealthy business man. Did you know that the 3 wealthiest Presidents were actually JFK, Washington, and Jefferson?
gpt
Well he went bankrupt on multiple occasions and most of his wealth was from old money
human
He's a pretty example of the need for wealth redistribution--we're getting uncomfortably close to an authoritarian regime, where the leader might also be called president.
gpt
Well honestly was more worried how the only presidential candidates were hillary and trump...
human
The two party system is becoming a problem. Until 1805, the runner-up in the election became Vice President. I supposed maybe that provided a more balanced government, although I don't believe politics could have been that partisan back then.
gpt
Was it JFK or Roosevelt who came closest to winning as the 3rd party
human
I don't know. Less mainstream do have an outside chance sometimes. Teddy Roosevelt, for example, was such a staunch conservationist that he banned Christmas trees from the White House.
gpt
I wonder how being a conservationist leads to banning christmas trees?
human
I'm sure when he was President Christmas trees weren't grown commercially and had to be harvested from natural forests. These days they even have solar panels at the white House--Reagan had uninstalled the ones put up by Carter, but George W. Bush put in some when he was in office.
gpt
I see that makes sense. it is interesting how the guest house is larger than the white house
human
It's a bit ironic for a real estate developer to be in that situation, isn't it? I'm sure he's not thrilled that there are twins of the White House in Ireland and France, too.
gpt
I am sure the owners are thrilled to feel like a president
human
*calm eyes* I wonder if they also used floppy disks for some computer storage like they do at the actual White House haha. I suppose that has something to do with information security and keeping certain data off-network.
gpt
I mean it is so old that it is actually a good security measure ironically
human
*calm eyes* I also imagine that it's a pain to upgrade the systems regularly when the risk is so high. The actual work done there isn't that complicated--no one in the actual White House is performing complex research or analysis that requires supercomputers. I mean, it took 4 days for the Secret Service to even realize that bullets had struck the building in 2011!
gpt
True. I worries me our nukes still use floppy disks though
human
It worries me that the man in charge texts so much. 
gpt
True, I agree. In any case, thanks for chatting
