Stop calling people "consumers"!
We're customers, we're users, we're people that businesses have dealings with, we're people who use software and goods for our personal use. We're citizens of the countries we were born in.
Cars consume gasoline, fire consumes whatever it burns, people aren't consumers.
A consumer is a gaping maw that eats everything until there's nothing left, a customer or a home user is a person.
Don't use the de-humanizing terms corporations want us to use.
