I love how often that same line of "thought" is and has been used just in my lifetime. We are told that the best "feature" of capitalism is about supposedly having so many choices because of competition and all that. While at the same time we are just never even told of any potential or existing options. Also used as an excuse to keep things from other places away from us. All because someone in a corp somewhere at some points in time keep claiming that "Americans just can't possibly understand something". Which also re-enforces the culture of praising ignorance and just always assuming we are correct and nothing is better (or allowed in some cases where we missed some cool tech). I know the real point is because they don't want to provide choices. But shit is a broken record for us not know of or be able to use other options.
