In many places, like here in Orange County California, the local stores stopped carrying “firm” bristle toothbrushes. They only carry more expensive and flashy “soft” bristle varieties in all kinds of nonsense designs and only single and double packs. If you live anywhere poorer, you will notice that ALL of the products sold are different between these areas. If you are very self aware, you may notice that these much more expensive flashy products work terribly and the bristles splay after a week or two in comparison to the versions available in poorer areas where the same amount if money buys an 8-12 multi pack, and each brush will last a couple of months before splaying.
Information such as this is limited. This is about autonomy. It is also about the ancient issue of false weighted scales in a forum market just in a modern context. Property is not owned when you still pay for extra junk to keep hold of it. That is renting from the real owners just by another name.
You think you own your toothbrush. Do you, when someone is able to manipulate your perception of choice and dial it how often you repurchase it. Similarly, you do not own property that you do not control. Like your phone is controlled and therefore owned by whomever controls the orphaned kernel and binary modules that make it impossible for anyone to maintain without the SOC and modem hardware documentation. Everything is like this in the present dystopian world. Someone is manipulating and skimming every product and purchase without adding or providing value. This is possible because they are cashing out on citizenship and autonomy often in subtle enough ways to go unnoticed.

This is so well put and relevant. Thank you for you write up, I really appreciate the perspective.
