I maybe shouldn't be too hard on the Consumer people. It is hard to know... On the one hand, this country has progressed to being the 'easiest country in the world in which to do business' not just because of the lack of laws protecting the people but also because of the presence of laws that prioritise corporate interests over the people. And this happened... Under their watch.
So... They haven't been doing a very good job of it. Worst job of it in the world, in fact. Couldn't have done a worse job of it.
On the other hand... Some of their information is good.
Confirms what I already suspected, a lot of the time. And some information that might enable better choices... Only... Now I am suspicious. Why should I trust them or their information?
One of the things was cleaning products. They tested some (some I never would buy) but anyway... They found that some actually leave things dirtier than they were to start with. That's what I suspected. It's a great way to sell things, you see. People put a little cleaning product on... Put a little more cleaning product on... Use the whole jar of cleaning product then go out to buy some more...
And of course it's not just cleaning products. It's... All the chemicals. Shampoos and conditioners and handsoaps... It's all just disposing of chemical wastes and selling products.
It's all probably just one corporation, really. Or a couple who decided to collude. Lots of... Temporary brands. You only see them and then when you go to buy next time a bunch have gone and there are a bunch of 'new' ones. And it's all just the same crap repackaged with a different smell of... Candy. Typically. So freshly washed hands smell like sticky lollies.
But, hey, it's not like the people wash their hands anyway - right?
It's becoming harder and harder to find actual stuff. Actual food. Actual cleaning supplies.
Things are progressively worse, here.
