i buy the expensive local eggs at my fancy california grocery store. it's $8 for a dozen. they taste like real eggs, not corn and slime.
i don't expect the $2 eggs company to care about any of the stuff that the $8 eggs company does. i just don't think that's realistic. i just assume they're fucking the chickens over, and the customer over, and themselves over, and that's going to continue as long as people buy $2 eggs -- which they will, forever, because people feel that tug at their stomach when they reach for the $8 ones. i feel it too, even with my techbrodude salary. difference is i buy it anyway, because of $many_reasons.
so i spend my money where i know the chickens aren't getting fucked over, what can i accomplish by worrying about the chickens? it's quicker to spend $8 and the world will be a better version of itself tomorrow (to me).
be the change you want to see in the world. expecting others to operate out of altruism is just not a practical thing to preach.
if i have children, i will advise them not to get college loans, and i will advise them to skip college if that means you need to. i will tell them not to do 10000 other things that are dangerous. that's what parenting is. expecting the world or companies not to try to harm you is insane and irresponsible, in my opinion.
