I agree with your comment, but like I commented above. There is a difference between contributing to a broken system that exploits human necessities and surviving in a system. Ticketmaster has buying power, a corporate landowner has buying power. Not too many of us think Blackrock and Ticketmaster are good for humanity. Barney here buying a few Elmo at Christmas is actually showing people there is a problem without killing anyone (by taking away housing, food, arable land). Maybe people aren't pointing the finger at the people responsible for this broken system.
