It's not that far from "Rathole" either.

1)People rushing to buy them books
2)The authors buying fat SUVs which exerted more force on the road
3)Road maintenance people slacking off work, reading those books
4)People being "inspired" by Clinton
5)Political rallies against Clinton
This then also led to the nuclear program in North Korea, who were afraid Clinton was going to steal their women, which Kim wasn't going to make easy. Combined with GW Bush's little door trouble in China, led to Iraq becoming concerned that the USA would attack them due to an Iraqi making the lock. Thus they sent out fake intelligence warnings that they had WMDs.
As a result of that, the USA waged war in Iraq, much to the dismay of Chrysler, GM, and Ford, who, due to the high price of oil caused by the war, couldn't afford better plastics, and were no match for VW etc who actually hedged oil and plastics beforehand as they didn't pay as much to execs as the others, and eventually became bankrupt.
/Freakonomics, my BS version.
