You basically said that our economy is so complex that we can’t help but pay the people who will slit our throats.

Well, there is a lot if interplay.

I can buy a GM car, but the money that pays the workers and goes into their union dues supports unions (which I despise) and is handed out by unions to people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Or there might be a fuel pump in that car made in China that gives them revenue. And so on.

One can limit the flow of money to things they don’t like, but it is impossible to eliminate it.

I personally can’t get excited about taking down the NFL because they are leftist-leaning and politically correct, when my employer is that as well, my computer I type on is run on software created by a company in Redmond, Washington that is far, far, worse, and so on.

I make the effort, but I cannot be 100% consistent, because I think it is impossible for any reasonable person to be 100% consistent. And if you can’t be consistent, then it is like the old joke about an exchange between a man and a woman:

MAN: Would you have sex with me for money?

WOMAN: Well, I don’t know. What are you willing to pay?

MAN: A dollar?

WOMAN: What do you think I am, a prostitute?

MAN: Well, I thought we had already established that and were just haggling about the price...
