It's not just politicians who've learned from Trump's example that they can lie freely with NO consequences; corporations are doing more lying, too.

They just got a rate increase Nov 2024 and are waiting on approval for yet another Feb 2025.

Did someone say "organic", or "natural", or "homemade" or...

Branding, branding, branding. It's all they know.

In America 95% of everything - literally everything - is bullshit!

And people are surprised by this? Fossil fuels are responsible for most all of the quality of life gains for the planet. We need science to mitigate the negative impacts but suggesting everyone should/can “give up fossil fuels” is dream weaving imo.

I think the term I learned for this is "Green Washing". Falsely claiming to go green, while not changing anything. Even doing more environmental damage, in lots of cases.

It is called marketing and when will Americans quit falling for clever Madison Avenue commercials?

Conning the public is common practice now. We must hold these deceptive companies accountable.

In other words: they lied for profit.

It could be the MAGA credo.

“We lie to profit from you”.

More liars than decent human beings in America these days.

That is the greed of the past. Look at Canada with the hydroelectric plant they are building based upon all the massive water falls they have. We have ocean & falls. Rivers everywhere.
The sun. Wind. Even rain & storms.
We have everything we need…we just need to harness it.
