I am coming up on the 40th anniversary of getting fired from a job I was at for 11 years with excellent performance evaluations. It happened after I sent a letter to the state administration about concerns I had about professional and legal issues. I was fired for insubordination when I told my supervisor that I will no subordinate my self to anything illegal, immoral or unethical. My fellow employees voted in a union one week later. Did not benefit me but no regrets here.
I was laid off after asking in a meeting where they bragged about hiring new people and providing them all these trading classes if they would provide those of us who held the company together by threads that same training.
When they told me to get my stuff off the laptop they provided I wiped the whole hard drive, including their stuff. They spent a month calling me and asking me questions about the very stuff they told me they didnтАЩt need me for. I told them my rate was $50 an hour and they left me alone. It was a joy to see them go under the next year.
I remember that Edward Bernays (who had Sigmund Freud as one of his double uncles), inspired Goebbels.
That's bad enough, but I also remember back when I was still a Republican, amazed at the in depth research the Cato Institute could document but then publish conclusions that seemed so out of line with what their more verifiable research would suggest.
The general case I recall was on the oil companies cheating on oil leases, paying for only a fraction of the oil they took, especially from Native Americans. An oil field instrumentation technician (who's truck I repaired the wiring on), told me they had filmed oil tankers making six trips to a refinery when they claimed that one truck had picked up the oil from all six tanks before delivering it to the refinery. He seemed to indicate they stole 3 times as much from the Native Americans as they did from other lease holders. Many years later, I heard they had won a lawsuit proving that, but that may be very much harder to find than it was back then.
N O surprise, a friend from Michigan told me that Cato was a propaganda org, along with ALEC, I started paying attention, but the fix was in, and this was in the 90тАЩs. Damn, I thought Jack Abramoff was the best scammer of the natives. Yea to natives who could win a lawsuit against the oil companies. Their lawyers are the best at fraudulent practicesтАж
I'm not sure what site I'm on (not FB) but I get you violated community standards all the time. I don't even use profanity. It seems that if you give too many details and facts to prove your point, they get upset.
But FB banned me,
An honor I'm sure.
They said I violated community standards by saying that repubs used Goebbels rules for propaganda. Well duh

So much for free speech.
They did not like me calling them what they were.

They donтАЩt like any vestige of the truth.
