    who’s fucked up more historically, private entities or governments?

    Historically, private entities … not even close. Governments are far more open to scrutiny. Entities pay well to keep their fuckups hidden. You have dig into the hundreds of books written about them to learn the documented facts. How many workers did Ford have shot? (Why did Hitler give him a golden award?) Why did the German dye-makers move their factories to New Jersey, then China? Why was noone willing to insure the early nuclear reactors … so the government had to?
