Some readers may wonder what is exactly meant when we are treated and evaluated as customers not as citizens. In short, it means that as customers, we are evaluated based on our income and spending power not based on our value as humans. In fact, referring to people as ‘customers’ or ‘consumers’ in most settings becomes precisely a way to deny those who cannot afford to pay for this or that service any basic human or citizenship rights.
