Dishonesty is liberating and financially rewarding.
I've been doing it wrong and will embrace this new philosophy
with fervor. First, I'll confess a few things about my products:
- Everything is low-quality junk and fake
- Conflict materials are used exclusively
- Social responsibility and environmental care is a farce
It's important for every company to be forthcoming regarding the origin, manufacturing, quality,
and every other characteristic about their products.
Consumers are easy prey because they assume sellers are honest.
Sellers needn't worry
since most victims won't report it for one reason or another.
There are only two explanations for misinformation.
The more forgiving is being a wholly irresponsible seller.
A quick internet search finds the laws that
pertain to selling anything so this disconnect is disturbing.
This group acci-purposely made an "honest" mistake.
The second group is different. They know better or have been informed of the truth
yet choose to lie anyway. It's deliberate fraud. Anything above a $5 sale
is fair game. Some people don't like facts or laws interfering with business,
much the same as counterfeit bags, perfume, fake precious metal jewelry, etc.
Like claiming a plate is 12" but it is under 10-1/2".
Or a roll of copper that's said to be 36" wide but really only 18".
Just how does that happen?! It's always someone else's fault so they say.
You'd think something so serious as legal troubles would compel them to research it further. The
Dunning-Kruger effect
says otherwise. Being wrong is not part of their language.
These behaviors are gateway drugs to sinister doings.
That's usually when nasty words come out.
They will rally their friends.
Circle the wagons and protect. It's no longer about right and wrong.
Whether mom-and-pop kiosks or well-known online sellers, it's the same.
Fake news supplants science, math, physics, facts, truth, you name it. People
are empowered by their sophomoric - or is it
sophomoronic - echo chambers.
They become violent
when those falsities are challenged.
If you know better but you choose to do worse then that's different.
As far as the reason for your moral bankruptcy, being ignorant - group one - sounds
much less caustic than deliberately victimizing people. You must be so proud either way!
