    And so since its in the past and a different person, person 2 shouldnt feel like they caused what person 1 did.

    that’s how linear time works. an event in the present or future cannot cause an event in the past

      Yes but step 2 can cause step 3 can’t it? If it were a single transaction that would work but its not. Companies dont open up a limited run and then shutdown immediately. They continue on until you break your relationship with them.

          So you would even argue the reverse right?

          Purchasing meat isnt causing someone to kill an animal, and killing an animal isnt causing someone to buy it.
