Go Bust a LIE!

Go bust a lie. Okay here we are in this mess of economics. Sure we got people doing movements. And we got people talking. TALKING. Which to me is really exciting. Awareness is growing. But, what can we do? I know there are still a lot of people that are not politically aware/involved because they feel powerless. What can I really do to make a difference?

Well, I'll tell you. Go bust a lie.

Here is what has happened to me over the last 6 months. I have absolutely no doubt it's been going on much much longer but it's just in my face now. The business ethics in our country have gone down the toilet. The unethical crap that has happened with banks, corporations, senators and the lot is blaring in our faces. Which is what prompted people to the streets. But, this unethical practices is trickling down. It is poisoning our society.

How? well, I'll start with Verizon. Who upon my move in with my parents lied to me. Flat out lied. Told me no problem we can do all that for you to just find out the next day oh no we can't. Lied. And when I busted them on the lie was told this line "it's not a lie if you believe what you are saying is true" That's the out they are using. That's what corporation foundations and principles are now reduced to? Not fixing the problem. Not reimbursing the customer when they have been wronged. BUT just excusing it? Because Verizon doesn't give a crap about what they do. They provide a service but that's not what they care about. They are lying bastards and I remind them in an email everyday. They don't answer me anymore but, I don't care. Everyday. I send an email. I'm not going away.

Then there was CVS. The pharmacy. I went to pick up my pills and was told the pharmacist needs to talk to you. Okay. And then she tells me "okay your pills have changed color, shape and the packaging is different but it's the same pill." "Uh you mean they went generic" "Um oh well yes is that okay?" "I'm okay with them going generic, I'm not so okay with you lying to me about it. Does that really work with people?" AND she SAYS "well, actually you are the first person to call me on it."

Then I was at Hoag getting my MRI and was told by the tech they didn't have any hot packs when I asked her to use one to get my vein to pop up. What? It's Hoag of course you have hot packs. Then she tells me they don't work. You put them in the microwave!

Do people not think? Do they accept the lies from Verizon, think the pill factory got bored or believe that a hospital doesn't have hot packs? Are we that stupid?

NO. It's not that people are not thinking, it's that WE ARE NOT USED TO BE LYING TO. We aren't. And so we think it is true. Lying is not the basis of our culture. But it is now

Lying is becoming a part of our culture. AND we have to stop it.

We do have the power to do this. B of A is NOT going to charge their lie of a fee.

Each of us has the power to bust a lie.

Go BUST a LIE! Become a LIE BUSTER.
