But it sucks ass and I don’t have any power to change any of it.

No, but the point they’re trying to make is, I think, that the more you complain, the more other people complain and the more other people start complaining and unless we have enough complainers and people switching, nothing is gonna change.

Our power is imperceptible but not non-existent
