    I honestly do not believe that harming millions of poor people was the plan. It was mainly a know site effect, which was accepeted by the rich.

      Going forward with a known side effect that disproportionately affects the poor is one thing, spending billions of dollars over decades to spread disinformation and convince people that isn’t the case is another.

      Not sure what makes you believe this wasn’t the plan

        “The plan” implies the main intention was to harm people and not to make a lot of money and Atlas shrug their way out of resonsbility.
