I say, test both of them!
They should both be tested for drugs often, the working class is forced to undergo drug testing, why not the owner class as well, they are 'civil servants'; by multiple people and organizations, that would be fun to see differences in reports and writeups, even more if data is shown on what chemicals are in their system.
Agreed that the position should be subject to drug testing. You have to be sober as a cat to pilot a commercial plane, but a speed junkie can have nukes? Insane.
“Sober as a cat” is a funny expression, because they’re the only type of pet I can think of that gets drugs (catnip) for fun.
I agree about presidential drug testing though.
Dolphins seem to use drugs recreationally too.
"Sober as a cat" is a a funny expression if you have played "Dwarf Fortress" for some time. They had a strange bug once about cats being so drunk that they died.
I mean, Adolf Hitler was a world leader with a predilection for speed, and look where he ended up. Makes sense to me.
Trump may be a master debater, but Biden is a cunning linguist.
