There is a big lack of consumer education in the U.S. I don't know how to solve it in our oligarchical society. The corporations don't want consumers educated.
There should be regulation of the private sector. There has to be some accountability for these corporations. The onus can't be on the consumer one hundred percent of the time. It really shouldn't be at all. Buyers should only be responsible for deciding which products would be best for them and their budget, not for having to predict which corporation will utterly fuck them over the least out of the only three corporations they have to choose from when they're all trying to scam them out of their money.
I'm so sick of being scammed every single time I buy something. The government needs to step in and do their job instead of just handing out a few fines here and there.
