Any and all type of marketing completely banned.

I think you should be allowed one sign on the building itself and a listing in some sort of directory and that's it.

Yea as much as we hate marketing it's necessary to some degree for us to even know that things exist. How do you think new medications for yet untreated diseases get spread? Those companies pay a ton in marketing to get the meds out into the world and in the hands of doctors. Lots more people would be dying of stuff we have the cure for if they couldn't advertise meds.

Directories for specific products would be good though. If I need a kitchen gadget I can go to a directory of kitchen or food goods and look around. Between that and word of mouth we would be covered.

you get one research paper too but the sample size of the study should be in the title.

Making it easier to sort them is something we need to consider. Also, it would make disinformation harder.

Now that would make about 95% of all BMW drivers wonder why their steering is broken...

It's not just BMWs anymore. Probably only about half the people on the road with me use turn signals and it doesn't matter what they drive.

Sadly yes

Instantaneous, lifelong driving bans for any driver who is found to be texting or intoxicated behind the wheel.
