Unfortunately, Atlas had to be let go, because it turns out he has been fucking the dog for oh say about the last many thousands of years.
The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's "all good". Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations.

A Clockwork Atlas
Atlas is the mythical hero from Ayn Rand's magnum opus 'Atlas Shrugged'. He is a metaphor for all of the 'great men' in the world who keep the planet running while the rest of us ne'er do wells do our best to stay out of the way or otherwise assist as best we can with their lofty travails.
