    Liberal market gives end users choice. If they don’t choose, they get the consequences.

    This is more like people choosing Trump like types and complaining. Alternative exists, choose it.

      “The free market can fix it” is just another neoliberal lie, pushed precisely because it doesn’t work. Rather than holding corporations accountable, it blames the population instead.

      The reality is that boycotting businesses isn’t always an option and when it is, it’s usually a luxury. Very few products are domestically and/or ethically produced and when they are, they’re extremely expensive, especially for people being fucked out of every cent by their bosses, landlords and utilities.

      It’s why the most hated companies in the world continue to bring in record profits.

      Regulations are the real answer, which is why neoliberals oppose them.

        I really don’t care about people who behave like they are living in North Korea or who wants a North Korean Word to live in.

        Even Digg people could say “No, F you” to Digg superstar owners. It is just a damn URL to type.
