Well, depends on the rate of exchange. Like, after the first, it took the survivors 10 years to rebuild their nuclear arsenals to go at it again. And after the third exchange, nobody was left who knew how to build nuclear weapons anymore.
That’s why it took so long.








I never get this take. Like, back in the day it also wasn’t my job to pack the groceries into a cart and haul them to the cashier. You entered a store, like a lot of pharmacies still work today, there was a clerk behind a desk and you told them “I’d like three ounces of flour, 4 eggs and a litre of milk”, they fetched it for you. So, where are the complaints that walking through a big store “is not my job”?
Everybody is like “no, a store is juuust right, when it works like in my childhood. Everything else is against the order of the world!”
I completely understand all the other, technical, cultural, issues one can have with a self-checkout, but this “not my job” attitude weirds me out, somehow.
