Sure I would know something was commonplace, but I wouldn't even pretend to know what the mindset of every company or individual was towards customers
Just as you say you would know what is commonplace within your industry, I know if this is commonplace within mine and it isn't.
If you think I am saying I know the mindset of every company and individual, I am not. I am saying "Deadbeat DNC" is not commonplace. If you have some authority in the industry that knows more than me, or even a source beyond some right-wing blog, I would love to see it. We're pretty deep into this now and you haven't produced anything so it's pretty safe to say it's from one of those blogs or you made it up.
I have zero doubt that there are people in the industry that don't want to do certain political conventions or any conventions. I wouldn't argue with that one bit.
