I'd love it if their equipment racks all simultaneously burst into flame the day it pops so they can't pivot or hock their hoarded hardware to recoup the investment. Then again, if that finger on the monkey's paw did curl, they'd probably all get bailed out by the taxpayers the following week anyway.
