Ya, it seems like the multi-billion dollar oil industry would be much better equipped to finance and orchestrate a REAL conspiracy. Say, a conspiracy to manipulate conservative American culture into blindly and categorically discrediting the global scientific consensus on global warming as an evil myth whose profitability somehow rivals that of the oil and coal industries. A conspiracy to get self-proclaimed Christians to not just reject but passionately hate and fight against a movement that suggests taking better care of the earth God gave us. Well done, evil geniuses!

Cardiologists have gone from making less than dermatologists to half a million dollars a year.

And they feel good about themselves.

But most conspiracies are more about attention, prestige and proving yourself right.
