The only way to get the attention of the corporate crowd

Is to fuck with their cash. So far this year, I’ve cancelled nearly all my subscriptions, curtailed all discretionary spending and stockpiled a significant amount of cash.

This is how we bring these parasites and pedophile puffers to their fucking knees.

And be really critical/honest with themselves about what they truly need.

Your entire future is at stake. You must yank on every single lever in your reach as hard as you can.

I canceled Amazon and Comcast, switching to a local cable provider for internet service. I'm only spending for necessities.

Phuck these Nazi/fascist/christofascist dictatorial a$$holes!

With these massive diverse mega companies I can't imagine what if any impact it might have. Purchasing power might be the only thing left for the 99%.

Time for an economic strike. They may try to take away our freedom of speech, but they can't force us to buy/subscribe to anything.
