So you're saying that because the people who made the movie were on the whole very wealthy, they'd have no reason to be sympathetic to the plight of the poor, therefore the movie is insincere?

It's a private organization, IIRC.

[Euld]

Wait wait a private organization is... wow...

[Frumple]

Meatspace equivalent of what google does with your searching, I guess. Something along those lines. Seems to be the angle of excuse they're using to be horrifically goddamn invasive, haha.
