Privatizing the US national helium reserve. Gonna laugh when in a few years the government of another nation ends up owning it. Helium is dwindling finite resource that key technological infrastructure relies upon.

Atlas Shrugged and the Capital are mutually interchangeable in that quote.

I don't like the quote also because it implies that the reader would consider LOTR childish, thus accusing the reader of being a complete imbecile.
