You don’t stiff your customers
Candid. Truthful. Ethical. Transparent. Plain-speaking. The true goals of reasonable behavior – the recognized building blocks of self-responsibility and accountability – are the guiding standards for an honorable and just society: You don’t stiff your customers.
What should be obvious is that factual information is essential for voters to make informed decisions about issues, and the result of those decisions.
Recently, the Paris Texas Chamber recognized that TV program re-runs from two to three decades ago were popular for a simple reason: Mostly, what you see today is progressive ‘woke’ crap, packaged to confused genders in the alphabet world, and unending ads by some of the nation’s largest corporations, which are great at separating money from those who labor for it.
Most ads seem to be selling a “woke” counter-culture, using gender-confused fake-happy “spokespersons” regurgitating words provided by some creative-challenged copywriter employed with an endeavor “too big to fail!”
These monopolies and conglomerates are:
* A few that invent a disease for some drug that was discovered as a side-effect of another drug, and the side-effect of this new drug sold to hypochondriacs – for this newly discovered disease – will kill them.
* A few want to sell you questionable processed food mixed (for taste) with flavored sugar that will make you not just a little dietetic, but will fatten you up before Christmas.
* A few have miraculously put “bushels of fruit and vegetables” in one little-bitty pill.
* A few have pills that will help you sleep; a few have pills that will keep you awake, and all of them guaranteed to make you healthy just enough to live long enough to regret it.
* Eight national Internet Providers and telephone companies openly lie about download speeds; “apps” that you don’t need; and never ever mention the robocalls that pay them billions of dollars for our data and personal information that they sell.
* Then, there are hours of ads for “free” money and “free”assistance by a myriad of programs from government agencies (using taxpayer dollars), which take our money by force and use what remains after political salaries and retirement to try and convince the taxpayers that more government is the answer to all our problems.
Its all a partnership between Big Business and Big Government, leading to pay-TV for sports and Google’s YouTube like-promises of no ads and better quality programming. All for a higher cost. Naturally.
The objective seems to be to stiff their customers – playing them as dopes – by lying about products or services.
Its an idea they got from Government.
The problem is that there is no accountability for how government does what it does. And evidently, it has recently assured its Big Business cronies that they are not accountable for what they do. Either.
Logic has been buried in the years of lies by big government and its big business cronies.
We all want increased salaries or incomes to improve our lives economically. Sometimes our greed makes us foolish.
So, totalitarians sell the sizzle, not the steak.
The sizzle of greed is an easy sell. The steak, however, is a conflict with their interest, so they keep the steak.
Because you don’t stiff your customers, taxpayers are – rightly – losing our faith in government. It takes away our power to keep it our servant every time it or one of its “too big to fail” cronies acts against just one of us. They are, by forcing us into compliance, using that power to become our master. Examples being Internet providers (IPs): Each of the three largest IPs in Paris, are redlining their digital service areas, while lying to us about the download and upload speeds.
Each firm has 15-or more carefully small worded pages of their “customer service” and “privacy” agreements telling each customer that they must agree to surrender every right they have as individuals, plus pay for “access” to a free Internet. In short, as the agreements and privacy policies are basically the same at every firm, customers (who must use their services to remain current in the digital world) are forced into compliance – while paying the firms to act as their masters. And government allows it.
While being inundated with issues that appeal emotionally – as logic and Constitutional principles are ignored – voters, are told – lied to, mostly – about glorified political personalities who allow forced compliance – and benefit by it.
Unfortunately, most of us are unaware that we’re being stiffed by a corrupt privilege few.
