I read https://aus.social/@Unixbigot/116694014042911771 and wanted to make a joke about V-K'ing billionaires, so I read Blade Runner's WP page and found this pearl:

“—what’s an Iran?”

“You know what Iraq is?”

“Sure!”

“Same thing. You bomb it but it’s not surrendering. Children are dying and they won’t stop, not without your help. But you’re not helping, why is that, Donald?”
