The worst part is having to send a technician all the way to Washington to reset the system. Do they still have anyone posted on the detail who is closer than Moscow or Beijing?

(quick edit - I'm making light because it's political, but I legitimately sucked in a breath when I saw it happen, as both my father and FIL are in their 80s and I'm not ready to lose either of them yet.)
