I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
Well at least health care hasn’t started using the word consumer yet!
Oh it has.
Consumer = customer stuck on treadwheel.
People have been called this in the cosmetic and otherwise elective space for a very long time.
Because that’s what they are.
