from the comments....

You can do one of two things. Fight the system and complain about it or you can embrace it and exploit it. I choose to do the later.

It's all about target marketing and the majority of people in this country are sheeple. It’s great; they do what they are told, read at an 8th grade education and have a short attention span. The best thing about this group is that they provide a lot of purchasing power to buy new things and do what they are told. People in corporate America and at the top recognize this and get their cut.

The cycle will continue.

Riiiiiight, so unless you, Mr. Anonymous, are also making the conscious choice of a Robinhood-esque existence, where you're passing on your gains from being part of the system, you're just as much an ass and no different than the rest of them. Fuck. that. ".....recognize this and get their cut" means, to me, that you know that what you're doing does not benefit the 'greater good' and only serves to enrich you personally, at the expense others. So how is this any different from the war & oil profiteering? Exploiting a system based on exploitation means what? Looks like you're all on the same team to me.....

And yeah, I know that I'm no angel when it comes to this, none of us are when you dig deep enough, it comes with the job. But to say that it's ok just because you understand the implications of your choices, doesn't mean that those are sound decisions....
