Yes, but the conspiracy theory version is that it's a scam to further the scam that is climate change. It doesn't make any sense.

doesn't make any sense.

My theory?

The real conspiracy: It always goes back to the desires of capital.

Why is it always that climate change is a huge con job and it's all a secret control plan that we...need to stop burning and breathing known carcinogens?

Oh, because the evil shadow government orgs like the EPA and OSHA want to take all our good ol' jobs (tey derk er jurbz!) with their "regulations" and "standards" and "penalties for pollution" right?

And they're trying to make America "less great" by no longer being a mass-polluting post-war economic powerhouse! Think of the lost profits! Think of the widespread misery and poverty wrought by a secret New World Order of...(Paper flip) corporate regulation! What's next? Unions?!

Yes, chem trails are ultimately a path to such horrors as a less wealthy C-suite and not putting clean air on the commodities exchange market. (gasp)

...And all these conspiracies are seeded and peddled by the very sources that told people to take veterinary dewormers or inject sanitizer to cure a virus, have brought us the highest unemployment rates seen in a century, dismantled and fired safety regulation and watchdog agencies (deh DERK-A-DURRBS!), are trying to bring back child labor and company towns, and conveniently rail against taxation which they dodge anyway.

Sure, but I think the cultural component of Agent Orange had a lot to do with it as well. That's why it's always sprayed by planes.
