    Does the word or context confuse you? Come on, think.

      I can think of plenty of companies I’m nominally a customer of, but which were actually chosen for me. My mortgage and student loan servicers, for starters, since my loans were sold and I had no choice about who bought them.

        Clearly you need to stop having an avocado toast education and starbucks home.

          Cool. I don’t buy any product on there. That’s far from a complete list though.

        Have you tried Not-Being-Born-In-America™? They say it’s the new fad!

      Did you miss the point they were making or are you just being sardonic? Come on, think.

      Are you able to eat without buying things? Do you really have a choice?

        Conceivably you could do some kind of guerrilla farming or something… as long as you steal all the supplies and use land no one would noticed months worth of cultivation on.

        Otherwise, no, you would eventually have to exchange money with someone in order to feed yourself on a regular basis.

        Well, there’s also charity. If you subsist exclusively through soup kitchens, technically you’re not buying things… but things are still being bought on your behalf.
