Like, yes, but also consumers are the electorate and the people we elect need to represent us. We keep electing people who represent the businesses’ interests and not our own, despite alternatives, and so we have it in our heads that these things are more separate than they are. We have the control, we just refuse to use it to the point where most people have forgotten that.

Instead, all they really ever need to do is step-down and get a high-paid consulting job and for some reason that’s enough.

Did you miss the part where I said I’d be looking for filters elsewhere even if they cost a bunch more?

I have three pedals! How else am I supposed to use them all at once?

Heel-toe shifting is for chumps.

With a zero day grace period to get things changed, they don’t apologize for anything, not even in a veiled way.
