Tech industry currently has the most pervasive and convincing propaganda. Probably 30% of what makes it to HN front page is industry shills. I'll never forget when I dumped on one of the big 5 in a thread here and got a thinly veiled legal threat from it. That's why I use throwaways now (although I keep them around for a long while to avoid ire of the mods)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I can't speak directly for the NIH being funded by the companies, but in the UK and Ireland, there are Drinkaware foundations which are almost entirely funded by alcohol companies. It works quite well here
Working well for whom? I was under the impression that alcohol consumption in the UK hasn’t really taken a turn for the better in the past 20 years.
