Many articles are by worshipers, but some are realistic evaluations. I am struck with his personality - his relationship with his workers, his failure to respect them, his failure to pay them decently, or refusal to pay them at all, his pettiness, extreme vindictiveness, selfishness, appropriation of the works of others, confiscating and withholding documents, holding himself to be the only honest man, etc. etc. This is pretty much the exact same personality profile as Donald Trump, who also attracts fanatical followers, to whom he gives nothing. Anyone who has ever voted for this clown should be ashamed of themselves.

Emphasis Mine for the Grotesquely Uninformed ...Nader was perhaps the leading real-life example of David slaying Goliath. Unsafe became a bestseller, and it’s now listed by the Library of Congress as one of the 88 “books that shaped America.” Within only five months, Congress passed, and President Lyndon Johnson signed into law, a bill creating the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Over the next 50 years, the NHTSA’s design standards, recalls, and general auto-safety-related measures would reduce the rate of deaths per mile driven by nearly 80 percent, saving—according to a new analysis for this article by the Center for Auto Safety—more than 3.5 million lives.
