Neoliberalism, above all, is an ideology defined as endless choices but no options. We are “free to choose” between working the night shift at Taco Bell or destitution. We are “free to choose” giving our money to this landlord, or his buddy, the other landlord down the street. We are “free to choose” this underfunded school or this other underfunded school a bit further away. We are permitted the freedom to spend hours looking at all the options in the AMA marketplace. “Free to choose” the $750 monthly plan with high deductibles or the $920 monthly plan that doesn’t include our insulin pump. We live in the golden age of capital “C” choice, but little-to-no real options.
