PR is okay for purchasing cereal, it’s not okay for running a country. Just so we are clear here, PR is ‘public relations’ and is most usually associated with lies and fairy tales.
We have a responsibility as human beings to know the truth about the people that we trust with our lives. If the leader of our country is making billions of dollars by cooperating with a foreign government on oil deals and other commercial enterprises not available to a private citizen, that is criminal. It is also a way to sell Americans for the evil of “the love of money”.
We Americans are unhappy and we have every right to be. We live in systems that take advantage of us. No matter how much we work hard and earn, there are mechanisms in place to break us: minimum wage, the price of healthcare, racism, sexism, bigotry, and the big one, greed. Greed creates political systems that steal from us, Dakota Access Pipeline as an example. Another recent example includes fighting in wars that protect oil wells instead of human beings. These governmental activities cost money and we forget, that we pay those bills.
As Americans we need to know when politicians legislate for their own personal profit. We need to know when our trust is betrayed. This requires work and information. As Americans, we must sacrifice our ignorance to a greater good. That good is to know when we must act, and that time, the time to act, is now.
