The bottom panel is vastly different from the top
He's saying cars should have seat belts and the other guy wants to improve society
She could improve her situation (and society) by simply not buying headphones made by slaves, there are plenty of options out there, she has made a conscious choice to buy slave headphones and now has the audacity to complain?
Both the car driver and peasant had no choice about their situations
