7. It's not coming out of NBC you idiot...

It's coming from you own administration!

You have people in your admin who are not 100% loyal and you can't find them. They are stabbing you in the back every day and all you can do is try to kill the messenger.

Dumbass.

10. Maybe he just wants to replace the nukes he uses up. So it's not really an increase,

just maintaining the same level of inventory.
