        Yes. When—recently—have you seen “telling the truth” actually make a change? I dunno what year you think it is, but no one is doing anything about anything these days. Companies just do whatever they want, totally unchecked.

          You really operate under the bizarre idea that there’s no point in informing people, so you might as well lie to them?

                Yelling about the media is like yelling at clouds. What the media says or does not say has very little impact on what people will or will not do in the long run. So the media calls it price gouging, now what? Literally nothing. A few people get mad, but they were probably mad any way. They’ll blame whomever is president or whomever was president, and then go back to where they were before.

                The media needs to say what people should do, but at this point the only thing left to do is illegal to say. Corporate America isn’t afraid of “protests” and “awareness” because they’re making shit tons of money.
