      It only works in competition which we don’t have for the most part.

      Instead we have the illusion of choice through multiple brand product names. There’s a couple choices, sure, but few enough to function as an effective monopoly.

      You can either vote with your wallet or do nothing…

      Working people have no way to lobby government, shortage of a revolution, real people make decisions for benefit of other real people.

      NPCs are just here to enrich them both.

          I don’t agree but you can either vote with your wallet or mindlessly consume.

          One is better than the other but yeah 80% of spending is not really discretionary… Gonna need to get a rental, gonna need healthcare, transports education etc

          But you can stop drinking soda for example… It ain’t much but it is something.

          People don’t have to pay subscriptions either…
