Is Enron Back? Not Really, But It’s Sure Got People Talking
Folks around here still remember Enron—the Texas company that rose high and fell even
harder in 2001. It wasn’t just a business collapse; it was a downright scandal that left employees jobless, pensions drained, and trust in big companies shattered. For a lot of Texans, it’s still a sore spot.
Now, here’s the wild part: in 2024, on the 23rd anniversary of Enron’s bankruptcy, a website pops up claiming to relaunch the company. But before you think they’re really making a comeback, let me tell you—it’s nothing more than a joke. The website appears to be satirical, probably mocking corporate greed and the "bigger-is-better" ethos that first led to Enron's problems.
It's causing a variety of reactions. Given the disaster Enron left behind, some people find it repulsive, while others see it as a creative way to remind us of what went wrong back then. It serves as a clear reminder of how deeply ingrained the wounds from that incident are, regardless of whether you roll your eyes or laugh.
No, Enron is no longer in operation, but its legacy—both positive and negative—remains very much present.
? What about this parody
It's just another chapter in the peculiar story of a name that never goes away. If nothing else, it's evidence that a company's demise can leave a lasting impression, especially in Texas, where everything is huge.
