my 2nd biggest gripe with the society right now is "inform yourself", in the sense of "caveat emptor". #SundayRant

it's a fine sentiment when you trade with 30 people for 50 kinds of things & services, many of which you can reasonably do yourself and have general understanding of.
not when you trade with 300,000 people for 5,000,000 things & services that are mostly opaque to you.

"staying informed" is a lottery. good from society-manager's point of view, miserable from individual's.
which is incidentally the main reason i tend to prefer larger suppliers & service providers over smaller ones. *feels* like less research is needed every time i buy.

how much i abhor being *forced to* researching new things at all times?
i want to buy seven pairs of trousers, test them for a year, and then keep buying the exact same model for the decade or three.

inb4 "what's your 1st biggest gripe", it is the pervasive disarmament of people. *a lot* of evils follow from it.
