Evilest person today

Well, I’ve met people who seem to have moral compost instead of a moral compass, maybe that helps?

If you define the magnitude of evil as (badness of outcome * intentions) Wakefield has to come out at or near the top of the list of recent non-politician evildoers.

I think you’d have to intentionally re-introduce smallpox to top him.

Nancy Grace.

If you compile all the things she’s been accused of, this “your mom” character must top the list.

When Ford bought Jaguar it had the most antiquated factory in the auto world. It was impossible for them to build a car up to modern quality standards. Ford built a new factory for the brand and the quality skyrocketed. It’s too bad for Ford that they had to bail out before they could recoup their investment.

Carry on.
Back to the OP:
As a class, I will nominate the arms dealers as the most evil people in the world.
