Michael Collins has him beat though because he got to do it alone in blissful silence, with nobody around to ask him if he's working hard or hardly working.
He almost sold the occupation to me. Bajor, a fractured society, technologically stagnant, riddled with inefficiencies, gifted with order, infrastructure, and industrialization from the Cardassian People.
Fascism isn't so bad right?
Yeah but you can't use big words like pernicious with them, remember they can't read and many have lead poisoning so stick to Dr Seuss level language or lower.
I did a few game theory simulations in college and they were always real interesting. In one of them for example, it was a multiplayer game, with multiple interactions. I think it was to simulate global trade basically: you could cooperate with as many players as you want and each time you cooperate you both get a point. If you defect then you get two and they get none. However, all the players could see what the other players are doing, so if you defected they would know and probably would play (trade) with you. The best way to win was to form as many connections as possible and fully cooperate the whole time.
I formed maybe like 20-30 connections with other players and didn't defect. Each point was worth a few cents or something. So I walked out with a check for like $20-$50 or something. Many players walked out with nothing because they cheated too many people too many times and nobody wanted to trade with them.
Therefore, clearly, the best economic policy is protectionism, tariffs, trade wars, and fucking over both allies and enemies, right? Right?!?
By far the smartest show ever written and it's not even close!
Gaming is going to be at the bottom of the list, there, saved you a few minutes of googling.
On the plus side, now I know how I'll react to the news of an impending asteroid/meteor strike.

You and me both. It's been a joke for decades but I ain't laughing. I think we are the first wave. Either we are overreacting and go back whenever if we want, or...well, I don't want to think about the "or" scenario..
Wait, the neighbor called the cops on you, and you still bought the place? Dang
My grandparents were holocaust survivors and what you just said is all I've been thinking about the last couple weeks, few months really. I keep imagining I went back in time to Berlin 1932 and have a chat with the family. They're gone now but I'm 100% convinced they would tell me to fucking run. I've got the opportunity and means right now the get the fuck out while the getting is good. It's something I've wanted to do for a while now anyway. People migrate all the time with nothing but the shirt on their backs, and I can do significantly better. Worst case, I come back in a few years with some more international experience. Best case...well...best case is still a pretty bad scenario, because it means I made the right decision, which means..bad stuff..
I'm sure he was a swell guy, a lot of fun at barbecues, dog lover and good with kids yada yada. Plenty of awful folks in history are like that. I hear Hitler was a fun guy who liked dogs and kids too.
..well not ALL kids but still
