    So you’re telling me that the creator of what is essentially a new kind of drug went to unethical lengths to hide the public harm it is causing? Pshhh… Yeah right. Next thing you’ll tell me that guns are addictive and that there is an epidemic of dopamine dependency that has been actively monetized and encouraged.

    As is tradition. Wake me when a corporation finds out that its product harms people and voluntarily takes it off the market without the threat of legal action.

      This did kind of happen with three-wheel all terrain cycles, the ATC. They were so dangerous they just stopped making them. Or people stopped buying them. I watched a documentary. They disappeared from the market before they were banned. Nowadays they all have four wheels.

        I feel like the obvious consumer lawsuits that were coming had an impact there, though

    Just like all large corporations. They know they are harming the world, and only care enough to try and hide it.
