Best laugh I've had all day; I hadn't thought about it, but I'm sure it's no coincidence. Random trivia that the wiki article leaves off... The Anaconda Company essentially single-handedly helped get rid of state legislatures electing Senators due to having bought off most of the Montana state legislature - which was obviously bad enough for the federal government to step in and give a big nope to things. Which is an odd thought in the land of big business lobbying and I'm sure has absolutely no parallels to today's situation. Nope, nope, nope.
