  • I have a product that I want to sell.
  • You don't like that product.
  • I'm at risk of being broke because I don't sell anything.
  • It's YOUR FAULT because you don't buy what I sell.

I think that's not the way it works.

I think that’s not the way it works.

The fact that you don't see a difference between you as an individual consumer buying a product and we as a society voting together to steer our collective course is a very serious problem.

If 70% of the people buy the product they don't like, another worse company goes bankrupt.

But if 50% of people buy the product they don't like, the two biggest companies kill everyone.
