    Let's be honest here: if people solved the global warming problem via a way that doesn't involve buying anything, instead imagine it went the other way around and corporations are hurt by this method instead because people stopped buying stuff, these same people would then change their tone entirely and claim these people are bad and they're doing bad things. Honestly? To these people the market must be involved in the process.

    WSB is an excellent example of this: People were told to invest their money rather than waste it, and when they did in a frankly brilliant financial strategy, they were demonized and attempts were made to disenfranchise them. You're only allowed to proceed and succeed as they deem fit, they're the ones that have to outline for you your strategy.

    People being persuaded into consumerism during covid from the same people who said ordinary folks are just wasting their money is another example as well.
