Room a was never a robot. It is a bounce around mini vacuum. It's as far from robotic as a bicycle is from a Mac truck.

Whatever he says, it won't be true, it won't be good and it won't make the average American's life any better. You can take that to the bank.

Are you referring to a number, which of course would be higher, or the relationship between wage/pension and actual cost of living?

There is check on his actions by both the legislature and SC. Both branches have abdicated that responsibility for fear of their own petty power and fortune. Sure, a lot of past norms now need to be codified for fear of future bad behaviour. But if the system is corrupt it needs radical changes.

Hesselden's problem, although not confined to him, is that he believes Brexit was wrong. Ok, I agree, but he still wants EU privilege while not in EU. Doesn't make sense. It's like the present government changing tax rules and saying, "we'll I didn't vote for you so I will use the old tax rules".

Modern diplomacy has deteriorated into either saying something nasty, or capitulation. We need a new breed of skilled wordsmiths, able to articulate an argument while simultaneously telling the other side they are stupid, and they thank you for it.
