    1. It's not the reason for any of those things 2. Running out of munitions is bad but it's the least bad possible problem. We know how to solve it, just pay for higher volume munit…

    Tech company drama is followed by .1% of the population. The jury pool is not going to be tainted. This has no impact on the public and nobody expects it to.
