The chargers that drop connection is typically because their max power budget per port depends on how many ports are used. E.g if my max power budget is 200w and I have 2 usb c pd and 2 usb A. Each usb c pd can have a max of 100w per pd3.0

I think this is maybe in reference to LBJ's lifelong biographer Robert Caro where he states that "power does not corrupt, power reveals". In it he asserts that what one does with power after obtaining it reveals what the pers
