That article is interesting, but I wish it covered more than the UK and the US and a particular set of working conditions. In the US for example, slaves were forced to work from dawn until dusk, giving them 14-hour workdays in the Summer. I have no idea what workdays looked like in China, India, or outside of the period of history prior to the industrial revolution, but I would suspect the amount of exploitation varied widely even within the narrow times and places we have historical access to.

What is one supposed to read between the lines with this second dentist stuff? That he's getting pain medication or something? Why would anyone be concerned if he went to a different dentist?

What have we become? What will the heroes of My Lai and Abu Ghraib think of us now?

Sometimes I like to imagine the specific practical actions required to make this. Like...

• Trump dictates this weird message to an intern and says he wants a plaque about sleepy Joe by this afternoon.
• Intern has to ask head intern about logistics of hanging a plaque in the hallway.
• "Who makes plaques like this? Where do I even get it?"
• Calling random plaque makers in the DC area asking how quickly they can make the plaque
• Getting White House corporate card and filing procurement paperwork
• Physically going to plaque maker to pick up plaque
• Make it back just in time to get stupid plaque hung up on wall
• "Wait, can I hang this myself? Can I really drill mount screws into the White House wall? Is there staff who has to help me put this up?"
• Get stupid plaque up and get ready to leave for the day
• Hear poopy diaper president throwing a hissy fit
• "This isn't what I told you to put up! It's missing the second part!"
• "Sorry Mr. President - I recorded your statement earlier if you want me to play it back-"
• "No!!!!! I want a second plaque with the rest of what I said! It needs to say [insert second plaque statement here]"
• "Yes Mr. President, right away."
• Cancel plans for evening, frantically call plaque maker to see if they'll stay open, repeat

They had that weird LA arc where they thought Kramer was the smog strangler. Maybe multiple episodes where Kramer is dipping his toes in the serial killer zone would have been a great idea and lend itself well to a satisfying series conclusion.
