In 1994, heads of the major U.S. tobacco companies testified before Congress that the evidence that cigarette smoking caused diseases such as cancer and heart disease was inconclusive, that cigarettes were not addictive, and that they did not market to children. Less than 1 month after this testimony, a box containing confidential documents from the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation was delivered to the University of California at San Francisco. What was revealed in these documents was evidence that the tobacco industry had for decades known and accepted the fact that cigarettes caused premature death, considered tobacco to be addictive, and that their programs to support scientific research on smoking and health had been a sham.
You are someone’s target market. They may want your wallet. They may want your vote. They may just want you to be pissed off and not paying attention. But the PragerU’s of the world are spending real money, on YOU, for a reason.
I engaged on this thread about politics because I’m worried about where we are going as a country. Will my kids enjoy the same freedoms and opportunities that I did? Will my wife and I enjoy the retirement we worked and saved for? I don’t know. I do know that the GOP today is not what it was when I voted for Reagan. Or Bush. Or a different Bush. Conservatism used to be about a way for America to be better. For Americans, and as a force for good in the world. I engaged on this thread about politics because you all go right for the bait. You rally to defend this issue or that issue, and vote GOP because they’ll defend your guns or fight the “woke” for you.
You’ve contributed 11 pages comments saying why global warming is a hoax. Because of a video from PragerU funded by a billionaire (Dan Wilks) who made his money fracking. So vote because you don’t believe the science. Or the news. Or the government. Vote because you believe the propaganda bought by a billionaire. You are the target market.
They know they are lying to you. Do you know?
