So now that we’re all aware of this, how does one fight this or what is an alternative as a society? How can we do better now that we know better?

There is a way around this... Buy old stuff online. I buy everything used because it's better

People still buy it anyway so there is no instinctive for companies to do better or compete for our money. if people realized we have the power to make them change and stopped over consuming it would help.

And now we have to worry about surveillance pricing too. Honestly, it’s so frustrating and has led to me not using companies or brands I used to love. Prime example: southwest.

personal question: after being educated and being exposed to our current economy/oligarchy, have you found yourself more radicalized than you imagined when you first when into school for economics?

Because people allowed it to happen and every time that there was a way to kind of turn back, people voted against it and now they’re just taking a liberty of how much they can get away with and they’re getting away with it
