It's Coming!

Here's a good analysis on how our seemingly informed opinions can be installed without our realizing. I've read the book and recommend it highly.  Don't let the 2010 publishing date put you off, it's all still very relevant...

Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes

In case anyone has missed it......the moral of the story is:
"Follow the Money".

Good book, in how it explains the unholy relationship between the theory of capitalism, socialism, communism, etc. As I'm sure you've noticed, the first thing Trump did was put the environmental regs. in the scrap heap and encourage COAL.

I well remember the days when tobacco companies claimed that smoking was GOOD for you. Actually, it was very bad for me but good for THEM.

coal is a story of the past, more coal mines are closing..They should train minors to go and work in other fields rather than help a moribond industry.

This why the Green New Deal is such a good idea. With thousands of soldiers coming back to the U.S.A, with the new criminal justice reforms giving early release to "safe" inmates - all looking for new jobs, all not afraid of hard work. The opportunities are unlimited.
