Let’s stop giving air to these consultancies. They throw workers, disabled, and seniors under the bus to push garbage nonsense like that abundance agenda which is just more right-wing industry lobbying PR.
People need to crowd out the pro-industry political consultants. Dem politicians are listening to political consultants when they should be listening to their constituents, and we need to tip that math in the other direction. Chloe Humbert Jun 18, 2025 This David Shor is a Democratic party political consultant. This means your representatives are listening to people like this if you’re not up in their business on a regular basis making your constituent preferences known. They will assume that the artists with skilled work and your skyrocketing water bill is just “quibbles” and that the techno-rapture “singularity” preached by right-wing tech tycoons and their gurus is a real thing.
The Wrong Impact Research Chloe Humbert · Jun 25, 2023 “IMPACT RESEARCH” is some kind of PR firm that seems to be guiding Democratic party elected representatives on the pandemic issues to prioritize business and industry over human health. They basically suggest Democrats stick to messaging it’s no biggie, and nothing substantive, when it comes to distinguishing themselves from covid contrarian Republicans. If this is representative of the kind of advice and guidance from Democratic Party consultants, I think it’s evidence the current consultant base has been infiltrated by a lot of fossil fuel industry advocates and libertarians aligned with corporate forces against public health. And that would explain a lot about the abandonment of public health I guess.
CMD – How The Koch Network Hijacked The War On Covid By Walker Bragman and Alex Kotch | December 22nd, 2021 Lockdown measures drove down cases in the U.S. and likely saved millions of lives globally. But the decline of in-person shopping and work, combined with factory shutdowns in places like China, disrupted the economy. A 2020 report from the corporate consulting firm McKinsey & Co. found the hardest-hit industries would take years to recover. One sector in particular that took a big hit was the fossil fuel industry. Oil demand fell sharply in 2020, placing the global economy on uncertain footing. Before long, business-aligned groups — particularly those connected to fossil fuels — began targeting the public health measures threatening their bottom lines. Chief among them were groups tied to billionaire Charles Koch, owner of Koch Industries, the largest privately held fossil fuel company in the world. The war on public health measures began on March 20, 2020, when Americans For Prosperity (AFP), the right-wing nonprofit founded by Charles and David Koch, issued a press release calling on states to remain open.
