Marketing and advertising. They show a huge, juicy, scrumptous nice quality burger. You go to buy it and it's a cold, limp, tiny, frail nothing burger.

There used to be a law about false advertising. But it doesn't seem to be enforced anymore. Marketing and advertising can lie straight to your face. Its not right and shouldnt be tolerated.

And Americans are so complacent about it, they say things like, "It's , what'd you expect?" Instead of demanding what was advertised. It's soul crushing. It's like we've given up.

SaniFair is a scam that every German is aware of yet it's normalized.

Honest questions. Why do you seem unable to change anything of this? If you leave in a democratic country, why the majority of people won't change the second amendment, the college tuition scam, swap to a free healthcare system, and vote people that won't start another war in the name of democracy?

EDIT: I reckon it's complicated, but you must have some opinions about the final motive(s) for this. Who/what is keeping things like this?
