At the beginning you can spot the two teleprompters, which are giving us this speech.

This long repetitive speech. Teleprompter technology to you.

You can't eat AI. But the teleprompters, they can speak. Saying little.

UPDATE: You cannot eat a surveillance state or an F-35. An F-35, missile equipped, will not better your cancer survival odds. Your quality of life. Your disposable income levels.

There is a saying about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. 

Heller, in Catch 22, had a character at the start, Lt. Scheisskopf, whose main skill was arranging parades. At the end, it was Scheisskopf, supreme commander. 

Why does that come to mind - You tell me.
