  • I understand where your anger is coming from here, as I was just recently raging about lies in modern day advertising, but I’m having trouble following the line here.

    Let’s say we “stamp out of existence” all activities relating to marketing. Practically speaking, does this make all products commodities? When I walk into a grocery store, is every shelf just a plain brown box with a minimal description of its contents? “cane sugar 1lb”, “laundry detergent”, “vegetable soup”? Further, marketing includes identification of where there is demand for a certain good, so we should be shipping ice melt to Florida in July and sun screen to Montana in January?

    Can I suggest that perhaps what we actually need is better regulations around marketing practices and enforced penalties when companies go over the line?
