Idk how we're so sensitive to sexual consent as a culture but seem to completely lack the concept of economic consent

There is a looting in downtown Minneapolis every single day. Downtown is, in fact, a monument to looting. It doesn’t look like broken glass and missing mannequins. It looks like US Bank Stadium & the Wells Fargo Center & the high rises & city hall.

To clarify - the very important distinction between looting and businesses is that one operates on consent of the customers, the other does not. But it's like people aren't even aware that the difference in consent is important here??

It's hard to reason clearly about economic consent when your whole society depends on its violation. If the government collected sexual taxes there might be similar confusion about the importance of sexual consent.
