Even if people knew how much they were getting ripped off, what are they supposed to do about it? What is the alternative?
If every brand of bread in the store is sold at a insane markup, and you need bread, what do you? Make your own? That’s a hit or miss process that can take a while if you don’t have a fancy bread maker. They either need to save to get a bread maker or find time between their maybe 2 or 3 jobs to make the bread.
Using the bread as an example is one of the worst examples considering how easy it is to make basic bread but I digress.
What are people supposed to do about it? Not electing people that work for billionaires would be a nice first step! Heck, just making others realize that they’re fighting other poor people while the real enemy is the person at the top of the food chain is progress in itself! Get involved, unionize, buy from smaller stores, boycott major chains, produce as much of your own food as you can, learn to repair your clothes instead of buying new ones, learn to cook, buy from a farmer’s market, habitation co-ops… There are alternatives but in the end a revolution might be necessary.
