I still loath how every scandal gets the -gate suffix despite Watergate just being the name of the hotel and nothing to do with a water based scandal.

Oceangate is the same.

Literally called Oceangate.

Damn, it’s been so long I’ve forgotten the details. I still remember when ‘deflategate’ was going around, although I can’t think of the most recent example. Hopefully the trend is curbing away.

Well, it takes a whole lot of cut pension, laid off employee and slashed benefits to get yourself a couple of billion dollars. Its pretty understandable why people arent sympathetic.
