>>716467079I didn't say that. I said if it wasn't Adam then it would've been something else. The anger towards Andrew came from the power disparity between the business owners who could do whatever they want, and regular people who could only bleed their resources with no ability to protect themselves once their resources ran out.
Adam and the Plasmids played a role but they only exacerbated issues that were already there. People and children were kidnapped to be experimented on. Steinman was turning people into Picasso paintings. Little girls were turned into Adam factories. So when people started approaching their limit with their mistreatment, what was Ryan's policy?
>There has been tremendous pressure to regulate this Plasmid business. There have been side effects: blindness, insanity, death. But what use is our ideology if it is not tested? The market does not respond like an infant, shrieking at the first sign of displeasure. The market is patient, and we must be too.Andrew Ryan did not believe in protecting people from the predatory business owners that were wringing people dry. He compared people begging for medical care as rapists while also demanding they maintain the pipes. He wanted to privatize fucking oxygen using the Lazarus Vector, which DOES NOT use Adam to work.
Fontaine is not a good guy. But Andrew Ryan made him the preferable option. Because at least he fed and housed people before sending them to their deaths
