Bernie Sanders and Kobe Bryant are stuck in Lost in a Space Elevator and forced to have a deep conversation.

Bernie: Look, Kobe, this whole space elevator fiasco is symptomatic of a rigged system, the 1% hogging all the vertical transportation! We need to tax these billionaire astronauts!

Kobe: Bernie, you gotta focus on the process. Complaining doesn't elevate you, dedication does. See this situation as an opportunity to learn and adapt, not a problem.

Bernie: Opportunity for whom, Kobe? The working class is stuck on the ground while Bezos blasts off! It's morally reprehensible!

Kobe: Mamba mentality, Bernie. Control what you can control. We're stuck, okay? How do we strategize our descent?

Bernie: Strategize? That's what the elites want you to think! We need systemic change, a revolution in vertical mobility!

Kobe: Revolution's fine, but without a solid plan, you're just running in circles. Focus on the fundamentals, like physics, and maybe some basic engineering.

Bernie: Physics? What about the human cost of this… this… vertical disparity! People are suffering!

Kobe: Suffering happens. Champions rise above it. Look at this as a challenge. What skills can we use to overcome it?

Bernie: I suppose… my decades of fighting for the people have taught me a thing or two about resourcefulness. We can work together.

Kobe: That's the Mamba mentality, Bernie. Let's get to work.
