    Nah,

    Buck Strickland would get Hank to go along with it (maybe even enthusiastically) for the initial “Good” stages where they try to make propane delivery far better and more streamlined for customers blah blah blah. Buck would hide/skip over the “Taking investment money, while not making any profit” parts

    Eventually Hank would start getting a few questions popping up in his head when he starts realizing the propane is being sold cheap, too cheap. He’d go to Buck and Buck would be able to shift Hank away.

    Then the enshittification stage hits and Hank realizes what’s going on, after a while of “Bucks got this” he’ll get infuriated when Bobby shows him online comments from people complaining of the now crappy service. He goes to confront Buck, only to find him drunk AF at a stripper club and not giving AF because he’s gonna be rich.

    Meanwhile Peggy, infuriated at these online comments from people, makes Bobby show her how to get one of “these new social applications” and proceeds to defend her husband online, while discovering that she finds it addictively fun.

    Hank will try to confront him again the next day, only to find Buck freaking TF out because things aren’t working out like he thought and beg Hank to fix things like usual.

    Hank sits down and cranks out a solid and reasonable plan for profitability, makes Buck pay back the investors to take back control and restores things back to profitable normalcy. When he gets back home after, he finds Peggy stuck on her phone desperately fighting against a storm of trolls, he just takes the phone and turns it off and carries her to bed

    Fin.
