In the last 100 years, the word "consumer" has become a more popular word to describe a person than "citizen"

On a separate note, I wish you all the best. I've seen your TV appearances and think you are great, and how you are withstanding the hate and discrimination is a sight to see. Wishing you success in your legal efforts, and all other things.pic.twitter.com/RmrNX6TxgI

Ah, okay. Reminds me of my revulsion at the notion that a government's function is to invest in/generate/educate the next generation of "workers." as opposed to free people who do what they want - not act as tax mules for the ever-increasing welfare state. Separate point, tho.

In our braved new world, the consumer will soon become known as a widget, a cog that keeps the machine working,
