I mean he's a dictator sure but he's a libertarian utilitarian dictator not an authoritarian dictator or a corrupt failing democracy so he has that going for him which is nice.
Well I'm not talking about the fundraiser specifically. Just the Vegas Sphere in general.
Apart form it being a total eyesore. It is nothing but a colossal, all enveloping ad. That's all it is and can ever be. A total mocking display of current day capitalism. I feel so bad for all the people being forced every night to view this glorified neon-billboard.
The inequality of wealth for the American people. Who needs this giant 24/7 neon advertiser? Each year it's getting more difficult to make ends meet. Especially for a city in a desert you would think a better investment ought to go to water or poverty instances.
But no, look at the pretty lights, isn't that cool for about an hour? Well have fun looking at this shit from your single-room poverty apartment for as long as you can still live in Vegas.
Genuinely, this could be good marketing for the TV show that Amazon could do - would just have to make it clear somehow that Mr. House wasn't involved in the show.
This thread contains spoilers for The fallout TV show. Stop reading now. If you haven't seen the show, this is your warning.
I mean he literally was in the show though, and seeing that the teaser for season 2 is literally New Vegas... Well, the current state of the NCR says that they probably didn't win at Hoover dam. And the fact that there's still lights on say that it's probably not Caesar's legion that won either.
Bethesda and the show runners themselves have said that Shady Sands destruction came only months after the war for the Dam which the NCR won. The show itself also mentions that Shady Sands was basically revenge for them winning the Hoover Dam. But we know not which faction nuked 'em. Enclave? Brotherhood? The Legion (which would be weird since they don't use technology)? House? Possibly even Benny/Yes Man/player protagonist character.
Edit: Oh man... They could even write it as a gigantic joke; Shady Sands coincidentally was wiped off the map shortly after the events of NV by Fantastic when he accidentally activated the Archimedes II orbital cannon inside Helios One.
