Ika Makimaki on Nostr: If the market absolutists were right, and capitalism really was about choice, ...
If the market absolutists were right, and capitalism really was about choice, competition and consumer satisfaction, you'd think there'd be at least a brand or two offering this kind of thing. Someone filling that niche.
But alas, it's not.
Capitalism is all about about profit maximisation, and now even control and surveillance.
We can't have nice things (if they don't make us slaves to the uber rich).
