Y2K, as in it came out in the year 2000.

Here are the lyrics, but as it is a song, I highly suggest you just listen to it!
If you receive an e-mail with a subject of "Badtimes", delete it immediately without reading it.
This is the most dangerous e-mail virus yet
...
It will re-write your hard drive.
Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer.
It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream melts.
It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to render any CDs you try to play unreadable.
It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number.
It will mix antifreeze into your fishtank.
It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over.
It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit and hide your car keys when you are late for work
...
Badtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin.
It will give you nightmares about circus midgets.
It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Visa card.
It will seduce your grandmother.
It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of Badtimes, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.
...
It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it.
It will kick your dog.
It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice.
It is insidious and subtle.
It is dangerous and terrifying to behold.
It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.
...
Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease.
It will leave the toilet seat up.
It will make a batch of methamphetamine in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase high school kids with your new snowblower.
These are just a few of the signs.
Be very, very careful.
Can you provide a source proving you were born yesterday, or can we all agree that's a generally reasonable assumption?

I very much hope I do not need to explain NewsCorp's 'political contributions' of all kinds to you.
Or WaPo, which Bezos personally intervened in, to prevent them from endorsing Kamala.
... The person you are incredulously doubting made a broad and general statement that is broadly generally true, but I am guessing you would want a comprehensive analysis of every company and corp in the US to validate the truth of it...
... When, as demonstrated above, it takes an entire organization to figure this shit out for even a few major corps, because our laws regarding political donations have been fucked since Citizens United, and you have to do a massive effort of sleuthing to untangle the nested shell corporation like structure that is now commonplace in PACs.
Costco is probably the only major retailer that leans more Dem than Rep.
...In the event qualifications are relevant to you for assessing claim veracity, I all say this as a person who has degrees in Econ and Poli Sci, one of many specializations being Poltical Economy, who has worked for MSFT and a Fortune 500 import export middleman firm based out of Seattle that is 100% certainly shitting its proverbial pants right now.
