"The problem is fixed already: I've been having this discussion while typing from a fairphone"

Congratulations, you are part of the 0.1%. and yet every day millions of unrepairable phones go to landfill, petrol cars are still being produced, coal is still being burned.

Maybe enough is enough, democracy is more impirtant than 'free market'. I want to nail the invisible hand to the cross to make a point.

Again with the whataboutism? Who are you trying to fool with this lame rhetoric?

You say you want democracy, but what you are preaching is totalitarianism.

It's not whatavoutism, it's problems the ideology of 'choice' couldn't solve for 50 years.

I think you are preaching anarchy.
