Oh damn, the US is already at Atlas Shrugged Part I?

For reference Atlas Shrugged is a movie trilogy about the impending collapse of capitalism from the perspective of billionaire CEOs of corporations, with some magic involved but we don’t talk about that, and the primary focus is that now the public is made irrelevant by poverty etc. the government start to sanction the corps and effectively destroy them. It plays out like an NBC drama.

lmao, nah. Wasn’t she the one that took social services? Libertarians can go kick rocks.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Rand developed and promoted her Objectivist philosophy through nonfiction and speeches,[98][99] including annual lectures at the Ford Hall Forum.[100] In answers to audience questions, she took controversial stances on political and social issues. These included supporting abortion rights,[101] opposing the Vietnam War and the military draft (but condemning many draft dodgers as “bums”),[102][103] supporting Israel in the Yom Kippur War of 1973 against a coalition of Arab nations as “civilized men fighting savages”,[104][105] claiming European colonists had the right to invade and take land inhabited by American Indians,[105][106] and calling homosexuality “immoral” and “disgusting”, despite advocating the repeal of all laws concerning it.[107] She endorsed several Republican candidates for president of the United States, most strongly Barry Goldwater in 1964.[108][109]
