I didn't see why that would be the goal, but I'd like to hear more if you'd be into elaborating.

I think the cost of ending this (i.e. restricting what companies can sell, regulating how they treat their employees and the environment, funding health education and healthcare) interferes with infinite growth, and therefore it makes more sense to keep people ignorant of the systemic harms so that they keep thinking they are the freest nation on earth 🫡
