So that's why you have 17 "points".
They are not stupid or sheep. They just won't know about some feature that they might want if they knew it was something that was getting offered to their previous generation when the system is done with making them ordinary consumers thinking they are getting the ultimate best value possible.
There are tons of examples of this happening in my lifetime in my country.
For example, people were going to small shops and buying clothes. Since the clothes were hand made, they were expensive but they were quality products. Then the textile globalization happened and the big brands born. They started to offer less quality products but for much cheaper than the small shops. People of course have chosen the cheap products and did their shopping from the big name brands. They were okay for what they wanted then. They weren't buying higher quality clothes but they were buying many of cheap ones so that they were wearing them alternating.
The small shops took the hit and got closed down. Then the quality of those big brands went rock bottom when they tried to compete with each other to the bottom.
Now people have no other choice but buying the very cheap quality products and since they don't hold for long (or with the help of the scam called fashion), they need to replace them quite often. The only alternative is the premium brands which charge much higher for the same quality product than those small shops were charging back then.
In the end, they are spending more money now then they were before the textile globalization and getting less value.
At some point LET was using Vanilla's paid forum and the "Thanks" feature of it was that Points. I think they only used it for a week or so. That's why I carry them with honor.
Repetition is about education. If you went to school, you should have noticed that.
As for the essence of the matter, it's true because "science bitch".
Science - no views. I am merely the humble messenger.
Big news flash. Economics is a science, like Physics. The (naturally correct) fact that humans differ from atoms in the sense that humans act is just a mater of using the right methodology. Google monism and dualism if you want to learn more.
That's what the Pope said to Mr. Galilei.
