"The free market can fix it" is just another neoliberal lie, pushed precisely because it doesn't work. Rather than holding corporations accountable, it blames the population instead.

The reality is that boycotting businesses isn't always an option and when it is, it's usually a luxury. Very few products are domestically and/or ethically produced and when they are, they're extremely expensive, especially for people being fucked out of every cent by their bosses, landlords and utilities.

It's why the most hated companies in the world continue to bring in record profits.

Regulations are the real answer, which is why neoliberals oppose them.
