Here’s a theory re: the meme here: the media knows that it profits tremendously from extending the life of the idea that Trump actually could be our 47th president, and it finds that lucre to be irresistible.
This an event which, if it comes to fruition, would almost certainly end American democracy, and that notion is so terrifying to most of us that we’re drawn to explore it whether we want to be or not.
The media understands this with crystal clarity.
What we’re looking at here is just an extrapolation of 2015/16, where the CEO of one of our television giants admitted, “Trump is absolutely terrible America, but he’s fantastic for us.”
Eventually, it will become obvious that, through some blend of forces, including Trump’s criminal trials, that he is far more likely to be struck lightening than he is win the 2024 election. At that point, look for the media to move along to some new catastrophe in the making.
With each passing year, it becomes more about money and less about truth.
Exxon: We’re investing in innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions while supporting the needs of heavy industry.
As a marketing consultant, here’s my advice to Exxon:
Keep your money in your pockets. There is no conceivable investment in public relations that will convince us, as stupid as we may be as a nation, that you care a damn about the health of our planet’s environment, or about the wellbeing of life on Earth.
Until this announcement, I think anyone would have said that Gallup, Inc., founded in 1935, had a solid reputation for honesty and integrity.
Yesterday, all that vanished in the blink of an eye.
Imagine you’re one of about 2000 employees located in one of about 35 offices around the world, including New York City, London, Berlin, Sydney, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi. How sickened would you be?
From “The Other 98”
Trump now wants Americans to believe that greenhouse gases don’t endanger human life, a claim that flies in the face of virtually every scientist on Earth. His administration just erased the EPA’s longstanding “endangerment finding,” the scientific and legal cornerstone that said carbon pollution warms the planet and harms human health. Without it, the EPA can no longer regulate greenhouse gases from factories, cars, or power plants, effectively stripping the federal government of its ability to combat climate change.
Trump is nothing if not predictable and consistent in his policies that fly into the teeth of science and cause grievous harm to our health.
Since science recognize vacci nations as safe and effective, why not appoint an anti-vaxxer to head up the Department of Health and Human Services?
Coal is by far the most toxic source of energy, so guess what Trump supports.
ExxonMobil Lowering Carbon Emissions? Sure.
