They had good salesmen at the start, and not enough market data to show they were bullshit, person in charge of paying wasn’t hired as an environmental officer but is just the niece back from cocaine rehab

But part of the problem is Republican voters believe anything their politicians say and never hold them accountable, and too many Dem voters have been acting that way too.
If there's no pressure to do the right thing, politicians will do what gets them the most money.
When voters of neither party has any standards, the corpos will do whatever they want.
A cynic would say that happened decades ago.
I know it's been over a decade that I've been accused of all sorts of stuff for having more standards than the letter D next to someone's name.
