"The government" is the abstract bogey man that can do anything, huh?
If you want some real conspiracy, take a look at multinational mega corporations and how they create an illusion of choice that ends up as revenue for their owners, controlling prices while avoiding taxes and livable wages for their workers and buying politicians around the globe.
But nooo that's too real and scary and depressing when it's much more exciting to fantasize about secret technology and aliens and whatever.
B-but the computers go beep boop
