Bottled Water and Real Good Marketing

I read a few articles recently on bottled water and the gist of the articles was that the soft drink companies fooled us (they actually have more sales in bottled water than in soft drinks). They made us believe drinking bottled water was a healthy option and that those who drank bottled water were being individualistic, in the best sense of the word.

It doesn't appear bottled water is that much different than tap water. I will keep reading.

Going Back To Trump

Does crime pay? Well, the January 6 committee seems to have more information on that infamous day. One interesting thing found out was that Mark Meadows, Trump's Chief of Staff, wrote in an email to someone that the National Guard would protect the pro Trump people on January 6. It seems like crime will not pay in this instance. That is, what happened on January 6th will not be the end of the story.

I hope there's lots more to the story.

It made me think.
