More importantly, #business and especially high technology need the general mass of humanity to be suckers, vulnerable to #marketing and credulous enough to believe every scrap of dishonesty and treachery that comes out of U.S. corporations and their leaders and managers. It's an article of marketing faith that skillful advertising and psychological conditioning can create ANY demand, and this simple faith in marketing is why #software presents its users with false choices like "Yes" vs. "Maybe Later". Both the business leaders and the elite tech boys, as I've said, are dependent upon mass stupidity; thus they're confident that they can trick or dupe or browbeat software users into complying.

And if that doesn't work they'll simply use force, preferably government force such as legal action—see for example the legal maneuvers which Microsoft and
Bill Gates used in the 1980s to assure the market dominance of #Windows. #Crypto and Elon Musk, similarly, place their hopes for longevity in "legislative capture", effectively compelling the general population to get used to fake digital money and cars which drive themselves into other cars.
