    No.

    Taxing the billionaires that have profited off the status quo would, but under the rules of modern neoliberalism, market failures can only be fixed by more market economics.

    Regulations? Public services? Nope, can’t do that. Only more markets. That’s the only solution we’re allowed to consider, no matter how many times it’s failed already.

        Because the other super market brands are also huge corporations and everything they sell is huge corporations. Which, in the end, only serve a few billionaires.
