    They don’t maintain the nukes. They make sure they’re accounted for.

    When I worked retail, we took inventory of stuff even if the computer said it hadn’t been sold, because people would steal shit. If we stopped doing inventory, we’d never know the thefts had happened.

    Imagine that, but instead of iPads, we lose track of nuclear weapons.
