Corps spend billions every year making sure the average person feels like shit because they don’t have the latest doodad. In a species where memories can be inserted into the mind with a little work, it is ridiculously easy to trigger a feeling of loss.

Companies like Walmart are manipulating people into buying what they don’t need.

They are certainly exploiting aspects of human nature and American culture but as long as we remain exploitable there will always be someone there to do it.
