Everybody likes a little ass. Nobody likes a smart ass.

Who are these asshats that bought the company and what other companies are they contaminating?

But after 40-50 years of listening to fusion energy promises, I'm pretty cynical.

"We were just following orders"

They know which way the wind is blowing.

A far better description would be an electromechanical system.
