People say all this but have no alternative solution.

Ah, yes. Only chefs should be food critics, and every product reviewer should propose ways to improve the product.

There is no alternative solution to greed. Better solutions will become viable when there is less greed. Current political and economic systems allow the greediest people to profit the most.

Sure, but then why even comment in the first place? It's a foregone conclusion.

One cannot criticize anything ever if they don't have a better solution? You can't think of any benefit to people collectively discussing their seemingly unsolvable problem? You don't think that people discussing a problem that seems to have no solution have ever come up with a solution??

All problems in history were solved by individuals who immediately had the correct answer without any discussion?!!

How many problems were solved by shutting down discussions do you think? Are we thinking stifling conversations causes more problem solving?!

But the commenter I initially replied to is not discussing in good faith, they're diatribing and soapboxing. That is why my question was framed as rhetorical, not to shut down actual discussion.

that's fair, but the sentence "marketing kills the humanity" remains true.
