It is useless to play this game against them. All the top players are already in.^[they have won against local textiles in almost all places and against little food industries in enough places. They start by destroying the incentive to produce locally and continue with centralising the means of production. All the while, using the fruits of your labour against you. Eventually they want to destroy your ability to walk away, by being the only option everywhere.]
Best, find your own way to create ICs and make them for community purposes.
There will be much less money and you will be tempted to sell to AI chaps, so you will need willpower.
Specially after putting the time and effort to manufacture yourselves.

    Apparently Amazon puts the same generic item barcode on all of the items

    This really doesn't make sense.
    All extra processes in logistics need to increase accountability and not reduce it.
    And simply adding a UUID to a QR is hardly an expensive task.
    This outcome is pretty much their intention.
