They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    Yeah, lots of people in here saying “stop supporting corporations” as if it is not only easy, but simple to do.

    Wanna cook whole foods? You growing your own or buying them from the Amish?

    Wanna fix your own house (something I am currently doing), good luck finding a hardware/lumber supply that isn’t owned by one.

    Want to use the internet?

    It isn’t so simple. I think doing what you can with what you have is all anyone in the working class can really do. For some people it’s more, others less.

    In the end, it seems like human history is a series of people with wealth and resources screwing over others, with brief bursts of progress.
