Why would a company pay to produce and air an ad that :censored2:s on its own product? That wouldn't be very rational thing for it to do.




Why would buying a luxury and/or large SUV rather than a sedan be an inherently irrational decision? If I'm able to get from point A to B in a Honda Civic am I being irrational if I buy a Mercedes SUV?
a company that factors in pollution might be considering the long term consequences of pollution on its ability to generate profits.

mercedes which has many poorly rated and certainly unreliable cars which are more expensive than many other car companies, has advertisements which dont promote rational decision making'

a rational reason for buying an SUV might be if you live in a back road with no snow plows. if you dont need the space and live in the city, you might not be making a rational decision when buying an SUV.

point is advertisements dont promote rational decision making. i wil now search mercedez suv ad and i will post the commercial here and you decide whether its promoting rational or irrational decision making.


I think we've got two very different ideas of what the word "rational" means. In your conception of it you try to use the word as a tool to encapsulate your personal political ideology. The end product is.....not great.

these ads im posting are they logical or emotional?

again markets are based on consumers making rational decisions.

If I'm not being rational I'm being irrational, right? If I don't live on a snow-covered mountain year-round and could probably get around in anything with four wheels am I "lacking usual or normal mental clarity or coherence" if I feel like pulling out my very large wallet to buy a Mercedes SUV? The correct answer is no.

At least Fox News gave up thye charade a few years ago. But for a long time that was Fox News' tag lines.

Those two are commentators, not journalists. CNN on the other hand actually lost lawsuits because they invented news, edited news to create a fake story.

Looks like someone excluded a whole bunch of faces in order to create a false narrative? Is that a CNN meme?
most ppl are just stupid wally.

was watching fake news last night, 1 of the commercials was oil lobby, then a news segment on a town which was burnt to a crisp last year and maybe burnt again, no mention of climate catastrophe, no mention of has this ever happened before, no mention of hte frequency of forest fires.
