Sounds exactly like Boris Johnson, prime minister in the UK and notorious for making up stories. He basically steered the UK economy in a dive and parachuted out so another imbecile was at the wheel when all the warnings began to blare. Stories don't make for good policies.

It' was a status thing. Those with manual labor jobs usually can't have long nails, so long nails means they're above manual labor. So the rich in the past did that, and now everybody wants to do that so and it becomes a beauty thing.

People asked the question before. It went something like:

"You do realize that he'll be a dictator, right?"

" We don't care. He'll be our dictator and that's all that matters."

And then they'll say they do it for freedom and democracy.
