And this is what's wrong with people. It doesn't matter how much suffering and misery and other negative externalities went into something, it doesn't matter that they're confronted with the truth of these externalities, they will do whatever they can to save a literal dollar.
True, some people are "forced" into consooming only the cheapest things to survive, but many more people really do have an option to free themselves of Big Corpo, they'd rather just submit in order to save that dollar.

It could be as simple as an $8 Big Mac changes the value proposition (quality/cost) enough that people move elsewhere. If the main selling point of your product is that it's cheap are people wrong to not buy it if it's no longer cheap?
