Did you know that there's an anti-U.S. Chamber of Commerce?
It's called the American Sustainable Business Council. Looks like a great organization.


Our Principles

American Sustainable Business Council believes that sustainable economic development is compatible with shared prosperity, environmental protection, and social justice. Moreover, it is essential from both a moral and pragmatic standpoint to restructure our economy to achieve this balance. We believe business must play a critical and positive role in our society. At the same time, government must play a role in ensuring that markets are well-structured and that public resources are invested with vision and stewardship.

7. Sounds good
But I agree. The title is a tad misleading, because it could be read two different ways.

Perhaps "Alternate" US Chamber of Commerce would be better.

9. Ya can dress 'em up but ya can't take 'em out....

Cause it's like this, all of those pretty words above are futile at best, or just more despicable greenwashing, as Capitalism has no room for anything but maximizing profits.

Another sorry attempt making the unjust, unsustainable, self-contradictory economic system which we suffer from more palatable.

10. I thought the Chamber of Commerce IS anti-US. They certainly act that way.
They use the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for toilet paper, and crap all over the real, human citizens of the US while running all kinds of rigs and cons to drain our wealth.

They buy our elected representatives right out from under us...

If that's not anti-U.S., what is?

puzzledly,
Bright
