Green #002
The corporate world really has no interest in you or I as people, as fellow human beings who inhabit the same planet. We are just a number with a dollar sign in front of it. They are experts at the art of “spin”…that increasingly ubiquitous technique used to make us think they are on our side and to cover up any wrong doing on their part.
The tobacco industry did it in the...
