I worked for a company that was also a small ISP. If the internet service for our clients went down we were not allowed to tell them the truth. We either had to blame the upstream provider, or act like we had just heard about it and were looking into it.

Some Verizon retailers are more or less based on what they sell you. Motorola pays the most while Samsung and Apple pay the least amount. Meaning there is incentive to sell you something over something else.

There is an unreleased and un-leaked version of the 2012 ARGOS Christmas advert, not dissimilar to the infamous "rainbow for adults" sketch which leaked many years ago.

To watch it we had all our phones taken away from us, and there was a pretty thorough "OK you all saw it, funny hey, time to destroy the CD"

A lot of property and casualty insurance carriers, think the ones that do your homeowners in auto insurance, are absolutely aware of the devastating effects of climate change and climate catastrophe, but they won't go out of their way to say it out loud.

You can tell this is true by when they start restricting policies in certain states or areas.
