      No, but you need an academic study to even get your foot in the door with these fucking CEOs and their decisions based on “feels.”

      Academic study with evidence is about the only way you can even get them to fucking listen, and even then, it’s a crapshoot.

      Research like this isn’t aimed at us, it’s aimed at these fucking dipshit executives who don’t give a damn anyway.

      They literally own media companies, so you have to fight their bullshit with actual data proving them wrong. Even then, it’s an uphill battle, because, once again, they literally own media companies and push their narrative as “truth.” Most of them couldn’t give a flying fuck about evidence.

      Source: Oil companies knew about Climate Change as far back as the 1970’s, and instead of acting, they spent a shitload of money to cover it up so it wouldn’t hurt their business model. We did tons of research to fight those dickweeds, too, and we still haven’t won that argument.

        They still won’t listen; they want an excuse to raise subscription costs again while using it as a means of lobbying Congress to pass bills that favor them…
