All of the above are '''essential''' since not doing them leads to the wrong result, or no result (also wrong) at the [[point of purchase]]. For instance to not know who owns who can let a company that is truly horrible compete simply by creating a [[front company]]. To not have Adbusters helping to create and publicize the standard [[barcode]] we agree on, means we lose essential publicity and help from them, and their programs of anti-propaganda billboards and truth-telling. To not include travel is to have no influence on the largest discretionary decision people usually make in a year - where to spend their [[vacation]]. The ability to check which tourism packages are best or worst with a single click or code is a huge edge for a happy future! Letting [[no body]] convince you that [[some body]] doesn't matter, or matters less than the [[no body]] who says so, is a sure way to help no-body corporations and ideology destroy some-body apes, dolphins, forests and this planet. | All of the above are '''essential''' since not doing them leads to the wrong result, or no result (also wrong) at the [[point of purchase]].
