4 days agoThe theory that I heard that made the most sense is that he thinks by renaming it he can circumvent the Biden ban on new oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
When I was still at university (20+ years ago) a girl asked my to help her figure out why her Internet in her dorm room wasn’t working. My first question was “is it plugged in?” She said it was, so that evening I went to her room to check it out. First thing I did was find the end of her network cable and plug it back into her computer. When I pointed out that she had said it was definitely plugged in she responded with “I thought you meant the power cable”. I almost pointed out that if the power cable was not plugged in then I’m pretty sure she would not have been complaining that the internet was not working but at this point it was obvious that she was just using her “computer problems” to get me to come to her room and that she was the one that unplugged the cable. The most ridiculous part is that all she had to say was “hey, you should come to my room” and I would have happily obliged.
