11. "Bezos doesn't need my money..."

Which is why 'voting with your wallet' doesn't affect them.

Denying those rich assholes is one thing.

Stopping them is far more productive and acceptable. They can outspend entire states. Going toe to toe with someone with money in this modern country is a mistake. They can play that game until the cows come home. And, once we do make things slightly less than they are now, those same rich folks will just move and leave us with the mess.

I do not find this acceptable. It is sad that so many seem to be fine with it.
