Let the free market reign.

May the consumer start to ask give me a good reason to give you my hard earned dollars?
Are you the best?
Persuade me, convince me.

We do have a say.

Every inch of the way.

The only thing that is free about it is the free for all to decide who gets to put the thumb on the scale. Best practice or product are not the guaranteed outcomes.
