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.

Literally what happened to a friend of mine. He was in a bookshop and only had enough money to buy Fellowship or Atlas Shrugged and chose Fellowship because he'd be able to buy a soda with the change.
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.
wtf is "the Captial"???
Das is german for "The", Kapital is german for "Capital"
This needs to be a tagline.
Hey lib, who are the mutual unbelievable heroes in THE Capital? You know since you clearly read it and aren't just talking out your ass

Youre ugly
LOTR is childish lol
In the broad strokes absolutely, in the detail hell no. I had to learn linguistic theories and botany to get to the bottom of everything going on in the books
no the detail is insane, the dude made up languages and then created LOTR just to put them inside
Sorta kinda but regardless, it's a solid 50 years or so of work
The Hobbit is a kids' book, but I'm not sure I'd say Lord of the Rings is childish. There are childish things about it, for sure. The black-and-white Christian morality and "good monarch" stuff, for example. But it's a serious work of literature at the same time.
