(relatively low stakes, as in like not 9/11 or JFK level)
Mine: plastic straw (and now plastic cutlery) ban initiatives are directly funded by petrochemical companies. Plastic straws are one of the most common and useful types of disposable plastic an average American encounters every day, so banning them causes people a huge inconvenience and tarnishes the idea of other green initiatives (that might have actual teeth) as more nanny state "not allowed to have this"-ery (also has the side effect of making gullible libs think they're actually doing something to help the planet by using a reusable straw while they get their plastic container of meat products)
You have music playing in your grocery stores..? Also in your Lidls?
There almost always is, sometimes it's just at really low volume, usually Muzak. Older, bigger stores might even have something like this set up. That guy has a few more background music systems he's looked at. It's a pretty interesting bit of history. Lots of engineering went into those things.
