Example:

Andrew Jackson is probably upset the Native Americans didn't get fully genocided. Oh and he is pissed he is on the twenty dollar bill because he was the OG federal reserve hater.

Fair enough. But at the same time, Andrew Jackson is dead. So we aren't really bound to logistics here.

I just find that story funny in a I'm glad that is far in the past kind of way. That and the cheese wheel. And the Gatsby style parties in the White House.

But at the same time, Andrew Jackson is dead. So we aren't really bound to logistics here. It's the opposite. He's dead, so logistics becomes even more important. Do you know how difficult it is to transport corpses long distances legally?
