They way the system works is you you buy a service and then a few years later a fuckhead CEO enshittifies it to appease the shareholders. When it's something like insurance you won't know the service is shit until you actually try to use it and your claim is denied. You can't change to a better insurance company that will accept your claim because insurance comapanies won't accept a past claim when you sign up for the service.

So you're fucked while the shareholders make more money and the CEO gets a bonus. You vote for someone that's willing to prosecute price gougers but she loses the election to the scummiest billionaire out there because people care more about WWE memes than having a good government that'll prevent billionaires from screwing you over.

Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. When greedy billionaires have taken control of the first three boxes, they leave people with only one box they can use.
