"We’ve found many appointees with potential conflicts of interest, including two who might personally profit if particular regulations are undone." While a bit off topic, marketing is a key to selling your product or even creating a market for your product. That of course should take place in an honest environment one would hope. Trump's administration appears not to care about regulation or even order for that matter. A few items for the reader and a book on topic. www.propublica.org/article/trump-teams-rolling-back-regulations-led-by-hires-with-deep-industry-tiesprojects.propublica.org/graphics/task-forcewww.goodreads.com/book/show/27833494-dark-moneywww.goodreads.com/book/show/33917107-on-tyrannySome things never change. "Big Business, in America, is almost whole devoid of anything even poetically describable as public spirit. It is frankly on the make, day in and day out, and hence for the sort of politician who gives it the best chance. In order to get that chance it is willing to make any conceivable sacrifice of common sense and the common decencies. Big Business was in favor of Prohibition, believing that a sober workman would make a better slave than the one with a few drinks in him. It was in favor of gross robberies and extortions that went on during the war, and profited by all of them. It was in favor of the crude throttling of free speech that was then undertaken in the name of patriotism, and is still in favor of it." H.L. Mencken

Woke! What! Another intereesting book on and in the adventure of ideas and thinking. The problem I have with this sort of intellectual nonsense is words like 'woke' and 'neo-Marxist' are meaningless. They're dog whistles that only certain dogs hear and the thinking dog pays no attention for she realizes the audience is a trained audience. While a bit off topic an excellent read is linked below. It covers the whistles of other pseudo intellectual whistlers. Some dogs will never learn it seems. Many dogs are just followers.
