Rumor has it that with the communism fight post WW2, the US govt feared that artists would have bad influences on ppl and started secretly bankrolling garbage modern art artists, since no one could tell what kind of influence the artist was attempting to subvert you with. And so now we have feces on canvas.
This coming from a former art student who hated art history so take it with a grain of salt (or Google it)
You're on the right track:

Yes. Coronavirus based production disruption, a strong economy driving demand higher, and Putin deciding to get the old USSR band together was all a plot by Elon Musk and Ford to sell more EVs that they already cannot build fast enough to meet existing demand.

So, the fuel companies are purposely making themselves obsolete?
That's a weird one.

Also maybe because it's touching on political. Not really actual "politics" but the current semi-religious meaning of politics.
Aw fer berkeleys sake!
maybe we haven't all done this personally, but I'll bet everyone of us has enjoyed the show when it's happened. My favorite was watching someone walk around carrying a bucket for a half an hour looking for the "steam machine." She was told to bring a bucket of steam (thus making it two jokes in one).

That happened to me once. I played along and screwed off for a couple of hours. They started to give me E36 M3 when I came back. I owned up that I knew a board stretcher didn't exist and that I thought wasting their time might teach them a lesson. "Don't berkeley with me like that, fellas. I know more than you think."
