WOW! This person really gets it. Put a crimp in the profits of monolithic, conglomerate businesses.

If they see their profits decreasing, they will fire people, yes-a temporary problem but labor shortages will help them get another job, BUT they must lower prices, change their PR, divest companies they own etc.

I'm using cash now whenebver I can-no credit cards. That should lower prices because businesses pay credit card companies a fee.

I'm changing my banking to credit unions which guarantees their deposits themselves and doesn't depend on FDIC, which has come to trump/Musk attention as a way to cut government spending.

Good on you! Keep it up and suss out the oligarchs. Imagine if every American went back to living like it was 1980’s or earlier — shopping local, IRL, living within one’s means. Sigh.

" . . . or earlier. . . " You mean like when women couldn't get credit in their own names? The good old days weren't always good for everybody.
