I envision one of the horrible doge kids setting this up, evilly chuckling, imagining those "old farts" in a panic, trying to race the clock to get that code in.

There is, of course, no rational justification for this. None. Zero. Zilch.

I can't even imagine any excuse.

There are undoubtedly more important things to write to my Rep and Sens about, but I'm writing on this stupidity anyway.
