Each individual has a choice.

People follow the pattern laid by others, until someone does something different.

Those of us who focus on making the hard choices to change outcomes become tired of sheep.

What I'm saying is that humans have free will, but have internalized concepts that tell they they're stuck. That someone else must act.

Most people can tell you exactly who (other than themselves) needs to change. This includes the people who work for the corporations, do business with the corporations and invest in the corporations.

Separately, we can each only control our own choices.

We delegate responsibility to the people who tell us (possibly correctly) that they're required by law to make decisions based on short term profitability.
