Like if nuking was the worst thing the US did fighting Japan. Have you heard about firebombing?

That said, plenty of corporations abused and killed innocent people en masse. Some even had their own standing armies to occupy territory.

Yes, I am aware that tokyo (and dresden) firebombing was far worse by pretty much every sane metric than the nukes.

Call me when a corporation racks up 100,000 people in a day, when not doing it as a contracting agreement for a government.

On one day: 4000 deaths, 4000 permanent disabilities, 40000 significant injuries, with a further ~10-20000 later deaths.

But hey, cheap Eveready batteries by avoiding burdensome regulations !
