Agreed. It's really disappointing to see the discussion devolve into activist yelling about evil companies instead of an intelligent debate about how to move forward realistically.

How do you engage in an intelligent debate with an evil company that is not interested in an intelligent debate?

Even worse, as this leak shows, they’re spending considerable resources to actively sabotage intelligent debate.

People have been debating about how to move forward since the eighties. The path is crystal clear. What's lacking is the political will to implement it.
