Burgam’s whole statement has stupidity beyond even the paraphrase — there’s also stuff about how solar technology will allow China to steal America’s precious bodily fluids or something.

At some point, just Being That Dumb and Needing to Say Dumb Things Without Question Because the Boss Demands It becomes a distinction without a meaningful difference, You play being a moron long enough and you’re no longer playing.
