The heart of the problem is that most People like Walmart

37. The same could be said of the entire "corporate culture" market dominance

If you look at your dollars as votes, every day the majority of people vote for the corporations that dominate the consumer landscape. If they didn't, things would change immediately according to their different choices, so in a way "corporate dominance" is a very democratic expression. It gets voted back into power every day.

For the record, I do like to think of my money as a vote, and I spend it carefully. Its one of the few ways I have of making any difference anywhere, and I choose to use it as a means of keeping local businesses that treat their employees well healthy, of rewarding people who do good work, of rewarding care and fairness, and so forth. I haven't spent a dime at Walmart in over a decade.
