This is one of most blind comments I’ve seen made by an adult (apart from a certain president) that I’ve seen for years. Are you really so deeply indoctrinated? We all have choice, but only in a context. If that context is saturated by greedy capitalists buying up all the alternatives and then pushing out the competition, then choice is narrowed down infinitesimally. What about the 99% who do not own nice houses in Parma, or all those kids that just get addicted to social media - just like so many in earlier generations got addicted to smoking? Or nowadays, Ketamine? Not everyone is as fortunate as you. Meritocracy and choice are fading fast, nepotism is rampant, as are irrationalism, lies, and mafia style politics - if you really believe that we have any sort of level playing field, or fairness then you must be squeezing your eyes shut, and closing down your ears. The point of my post was to celebrate attempts to open up new possibilities and not to submit in defeat to the current oligarchies.
