Someone had to bail out T. Boone Pickens. His heirs send you thanks from their yachts.

Which is a great example of this:

Godwin's law, short for Godwin's law (or rule) of Nazi analogies,[1][2] is an Internet adage asserting that "as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1".[2][3]

That is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Adolf Hitler or his deeds, the point at which effectively the discussion or thread ends.

Promulgated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990,[2] Godwin's law originally referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions.[4]

He stated that he introduced Godwin's law in 1990 as an experiment in memetics.[2] It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric[5][6] where reductio ad Hitlerum occurs.

In 2012, "Godwin's law" became an entry in the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.[7]

Kinda don't believe this. Biden only rescinded the Trump EO barring Chinese electricity infrastructure from the grid in the last week, and you're telling me that the Chinese own the Texas power grid? Are you trying to tell me that the whole Texas power grid or even a substantial minority of it was populated with China-sourced pole-top transformers and substation equipment in <1 week? Something like this was stickied a while back. It was BS then, and it's BS now.
