What do you think the consumer world owes you?

Apple does not owe you a cheap iphone. You know they make one better-stronger-cheaper every freaking year, don't get all uppity then the carrier decides to line their pockets instead of cutting you a deal

Lucas does not owe you a good Star Wars movie. He made one (yeah count em, 1 don't get me started) and the rest was pansy special effects drivel. You clinging do your millennium falcon like it's your fucking birthmark get the hell over it.

What did you expect from capitalist America? The systems is designed to screw you out of your money every way imaginable. Whole teams of marketing weasels exist solely to trick into putting the highest profit margin into the cheapest shit the manufacturing team can concoct.

The numbers don't lie, enough of you are happy to continue to throw your money at the same thing you bitch about not upholding to the morals you claim to believe in.
Do you think the hotels "help the planet, re-use your towels" ploy is about the environment not the bucket-load of money they're saving? Grocery stores have you paying money for those reusable bags so they don't have to dribble profits out of plastic/paper.

You feel owed by consumerist America? Want to make a difference in the world around you? STOP BUYING SHIT. The only thing this industry responds to is your dollars in their pockets. That and the occasional class-action lawsuit or federal action. Don't kid yourself into thinking the giant franchises are on anyone's side but their own. And quit being all whiny when your favorite conglomerate does something that makes you feel all hurt in the pants because you think it's going to cost you more.
