The United States has more than 4,000 nuclear weapons — and is really, really bad at taking care of them. Among other terrifying incidents, a plane flying over North Carolina in 1961 fell apart and accidentally dropped two nuclear bombs over Goldsboro. To this day, the military still uses computers that run giant floppy disks as part of the nuclear launch process.
This darkly funny, deeply terrifying state of affairs is ripe for satire. So watch John Oliver's characteristically clever take in this issue, which includes references to Oregon Trail, War Games, and a bizarrely relevant incident involving a Beatles cover band at a Mexican restaurant in Moscow.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
