    I would like to think that organizations like the EPA, FDA, etc. Were generally looking after us citizens, but when you look at the food engineering, additives, and chemicals banned worldwide, yet “perfectly fine for consumption” in the US, you really have to wonder

    The part of this I can never grok is where do all these assholes plan to go when they have poisoned everything? A bunker? Is that really something to exploit people and the planet to race towards? Like say goodbye to your stolen land on some Hawaiian island, and “hello sweet underground hermit life”! And a bank account full of useless currency to show for it (actually 99.99% is just 1’s and 0’s in useless bank computers).

    At least Billionaires exploiting everyone, and everything, back in the day didn’t also rush the downfall of everyone stuck on this rock into a dystopian nightmare.

      It’s a really good question, but I think the posing of it fundamentally overestimates the people involved. People like this lack a solid grasp of fundamental principles like time, family, love, good will, happiness, etc. As ever, the discussion turns to how far these folk are motivated by evil and how far they are weighed down by stupidity.
