They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school.
And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this.
This is not a serious society.

It's more than America.
It's become embedded in a lot of western "business ethics". Unless the society has a real sense of shame (just as a general thing), these "leaders" can get away with all kinds of nonsense due to subordinate obsequeousness.

America is lacking any kind of social virtue ethics (cf Confucianism) which normalizes the ability to interrupt and contradict the bullshit of the powerful. This top-down authoritarian approach to knowledge formation curses and traps us in a make-believe world, a world of naked emperors.

UK biggest Covid dip for GDP!!@@
Global fossil CO2 emissions are projected to rise 1.1% in 2025, but there is some good news underneath that.
There are 35 economies where fossil CO2 emissions have declined in the last decade while growing their economies, even after accounting for variability.

Labour are loving it, no one is looking at them, Starmer keeping his head down as usual
BBC had been at the mercy of fair coverage claims (LD & Green), but the Conservatives and their rabble, have claimed their turn in the spotlight, as they claim responsibility (known codewords have been muttered)

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

One nice detail that can easily be lost in this graph - even right wingers trust the BBC more than the right wing tabloids
Here’s the same data, but with trust broken down by political views (circles are trust among people on the left, +s the right).
It’s not just that the BBC is widely consumed — it also has solid trust on both left & right, whereas trust in the biggest US media brands is hugely polarised.
