death by middleman, death by more people making bullshit products, death by 'premium'ing

the more bullshit products hit the market the more the cost of everything goes up

each agent selling to the market needs to include in costs of things that others are charging.
if there are ten things on the market, the cost of each consists of the costs of others [equation here]
hence people who bring in bullshit products up the average cost
[this could be a paper]

second, any product brought to you by middlemen is a product which benefits only the maker, not the consumer.

bran rice = cheaper
the middleman has to add bullshit value

the middleman takes a good thing easily occuring in nature, rapes it, and offers the raped product in its name - for e.g -
natural rice has bran = super power.
industry throws this bran away and gives you white rice
after hundreds of years of crippling diabetes and shit
the bran rice now costs more than normal rice
the question is, did we need the white rice in the first place ?

Death by 'Premium'-ing
Every now and then the auto industry comes out with a new model of an existing car which has more bullshit added under the title of 'new' x.
Each such iteration is just a theft.
