ZOMBIE question: Just installed a new 4 switch controller for the LED lights for our adventure van. However I only need 3 of the switches, but the button labels had a ZOMBIE option which of course I had to put on the 4th button. My question is: What should I make it do?

So to recap: - Tips and overtime still taxed - All tax savings are for the mega-wealthy - New budget adds $5 trillion to deficit - Epstein client list "does not exist" - DOGE "saved" $180b not $2 trillion promised - Now resuming sending arms to Ukraine (good news IMO)

What would happen if every major new outlet refused to cover anything further from the Whitehouse that is NOT a full release of the Epstein files? Since everything else since then is obviously being thrown out as a distraction it seems like the right thing to do ethically.
