I couldn’t agree more. It’s none of these self-promoters’ business to decide for me what my purchasing choices, priorities and value judgements should be. They don’t know my priorities.
Do they think we are all morons and can’t make decisions so we need the nanny state interfering and protecting us? Encouraging race-to-the-bottom price wars - because price cutting is all the matters, surely - is very often an eventual disaster for us all, and if people are a capable of being a little less shortsighted and shorttermist than usual then they might just wake up to that fact.
It sounds to me like Wild West actually equates to extremely healthy diversity.
