| It is an more beautiful morning because of something I read today. When mainstream corporate media ( Washington Post !) business writers expose mainstream profit-mongers for lying or distorting or misleading while undermining the common good, I feel better.
Steven Pearlstein at WP exposed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in its campaign to do nothing about climate change emissions, in an excellent article, highlighted by this quote:
The Campaign for Free Enterprise, of course, is not really about creating 20 million jobs over the next decade -- if Chamber members could double their profits while creating not a single new job, that would suit them just fine. Rather, it's nothing more than a desperate attempt to repackage the same old anti-tax, anti-regulation, anti-government rhetoric in hopes of derailing the major initiatives of the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress.
Unfortunately for Tom, the world is finally catching on to his game.
And this one:
In the past few weeks, a number of big-name companies -- including Apple, Nike and PG&E -- have resigned from the Chamber or its various boards and committees over its continued opposition to doing anything about global warming.
There's more. Please read the whole article, available at http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
The world is catching on indeed.
