Do You Actually Want to Make a Real Impact in the World?
If you’re serious about making the world a better place, it starts with where you spend your money.
Say no to Amazon and Walmart. Skip McDonald’s and Taco Bell. Pass on Starbucks.
Instead, go local. Shop small. Support your neighbors’ businesses—not Wall Street’s. Go to the local hardware store, boutique, and coffee shop. Stop being a radioactive corporate minion!
Every choice you make matters.

Who's your ISP provider, OP? Probably some non-local company.
This is childish thinking and not productive.

In my city, quite a few local coffee shop owners are every bit as petty, greedy, and against employee unionization as Starbucks. But they get to play the "pity the poor small business owner" card. Then there's all of the Mom & Pop Trumpers.

Agreed. For all the boosterism for "small mom & pop stores," too many of them in the U.S. are the ones bitching about every dime they pay in taxes and looking for handouts so they can take money in even faster and easier, filling their businesses with underpaid part time workers and bursting at any hunt that they might be entitled to any benefits or protections -- the business owners, "the entrepreneurs"?, absolutely! The hourly wage workers? Fuck no, you filthy Marxist!
I paint with a broad brush, but there's much truth to the claim that many small business owners have little but contempt for the people they employ or their "local community "

Over here, they're all Maggats and stupid black people, so no, the only reason I patronize these business is for ME, stop this goody two shoes shit, nobody cares. And for God's sake, don't fucking mention the next election, nobody cares, let them burn it down. There's no fight left and no fight warranted. Is this that Stupid Sunny Hostin? Go fuck yourself bitch, how did Manny get his privileges to be a doctor in Europe?

I've never shot at Walmart, even online and try not to order from Amazon.
I rarely use machines to check out. Try not to buy made in China....

Hopefully once the huge corporations own everything we can all be healthcare CEOs. The robots and AI will be great for us all!
Bunch of nasty misanthropes here.

Considering your lack of awareness about run-on sentences, as well as your ending a question with a period instead of a question mark, I’d wager you are far from being Mensa material.
