From a reader:
Back in the day, there used to be the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and FCC (Federal Communications Commission) who policed such things as false advertising. When was the last time you even heard about those groups, much less viewed or received any warning? Exactly. Just like thee and me, they are overwhelmed by a barrage of such BS and complaints. So, as usual, the responsibility rests on us. Cover thy hindquarters, do your own research, and make the best decisions you can based on the data you have… regardless of the hype.
Like so many other elements of our society, the bad guys have overwhelmed governmental efforts to keep us safe from them. I see this in the cleantech space constantly, e.g., products that are essentially perpetual motion or something similar that either violate the laws of physics or grossly overstate their capabilities.
These people should be in prison, but the justice system is inadequate to make that happen.
On the other hand, Trump is still, at least as of this date, a free man too. It’s possible that his lawyers and the Supreme Court will delay justice indefinitely.
I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.
There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.
As we all know, the GOP will stop at nothing to win the midterms, thus making it impossible to remove the sociopathic criminal from the White House.
But did any of us see this coming?
Macabre.
I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.
As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”
She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”
