When your entire economic system is built around maximizing profit...no shit? Nearly every industry I walk into I feel like I'm about to be braced with a million lies. Go to the optometrist? Oh they're selling me on this new "imaging" thing to catch issues before they happen. Ah it's also an extra paid thing. Wonderful. Oh lasik is safe? Very little side effects yeah? Are you sure you're not being paid a shit ton of money for each eye you operate on? You walk into a car dealership and they're selling you an image of happiness and things to get "just in case". You walk into a fucking insurance company and they're about to sell you on insurance for your insurance. I'm so annoyed that it's so hard to find genuinely helpful experts in their field without worrying that they're trying to sell you something. Maybe this is why some people really like universities and staying at really large companies. At least your colleagues aren't selling you shit and there's a lot of smart people there.
