    I feel like Conspiracy theories are at least partially the result of a lack of regulation and oversight for governing bodies and corporate entities.

    For example… the atomic energy commission approved experimenting on disabled children by feeding radioactive oats to them.

    It’s one of the reasons we have laws like informed consent now.

    Everytime we run into something new, like radiation, some company or government branch does some seriously unethical shit with it and new laws and regulations are written.

    So it’s like we’re all just waiting to find out what new fucked up thing has happened, and how many corporations are gonna fight any proposed regulations regarding it.

      It’s why we should regulate them into the ground, and give them 0 trust. Get rid of lobbying, screw profit, the economic damage from all the scams, suffering, and death in the long-term is more than enough to make any gain in profit meaningless.

      Its already happening again with meat, dairy, poultry, fish, and alcohol.

      Lesser known ones like bath soaps and shampoos, detergents, lotions, gas ovens and heaters are also experiencing this.

      how else are we supposed to get data on how radiation effects children? Fukushima? Hiroshima? No, neither of those was controlled and both of thosehad goals like “reducing exposure” and “saving lives” by the local government.
