Sure, but that is not the industry's focus.  Consumer society means
nothing more than that the suckers will buy the same thing tomorrow
which they bought today.  And they won't ask that it works, only that it
have a new wrapper.

Neil Young's song, 'Piece a shit', is instructive.  You can get a
righteous adrenaline rush squawking about the product, and pick up a bit
of change on the side.  However, nobody will throw her panties at your
feet if you sing about finding the product that works.

Besides adrenaline is addictive.  So is buying.
