So, I was just thinking about this business that I run that is wildly profitable, but bad from every conceivable perspective.
.
I want to grow my wildly profitable business to be even more wildly profitable. How do I proceed?
.
Someone suggested that I need to form a "Not Really So Bad" non-profit organization that discredits the dissent, buys a few phony studies, schmoozes with legislators, maybe wines and dines them, some generous campaign contributions wherever possible legally, maybe buys a few prominent politicians who accept the contributions until it becomes publicly unacceptable to do so.
.
This "Not Really So Bad" organization, of necessity, has to create the victim as the villain.
.
Ah, yes! It worked for tobacco! ....for many wildly profitable years.

And then I wait until the Bay State is totally desperate and publicly proclaiming as much! Just like lambs to the slaughter!

Now that was easy, wasn't it?
