    See, what we should all do, is just stop buying ANYTHING.

    Watch the shares of every single company collapse. Watch the great depression 2 start for the rich.

    Because lets be real, for the average working man and woman, we’ve been in a depression that gets worse and worse as time goes on since the 80s. Now lets let it affect the rich too.

      Yes. Boycott EVERYTHING.

      Whenever you’re tempted to buy something, go through the checklist:

      1: Can I live without it? Then don’t buy it at all.

      2: Can I get it for free, from a dumpster, or by stealing it from a corp? Can I barter for it in local bartering groups without spending cash? Or can I make it myself?

      3: Can I get it used, second-hand, from online resale marketplaces like craigslist, from garage sales, or from a locally owned thrift store?

      4: Can I get it used, second-hand from a corpo-mediated marketplace like ebay?

      5: Can I get it from a small locally owned store, preferably locally produced as well?

      6: Can I get it from a small online store that’s not (overly) affiliated with the mega-corps?

      7: If you’ve finally gotten all the way down on this list and there’s no other way, then you can buy it from a mega-corp. It should be extremely rare that you get this far on the list.

      Just go down the list only as far as necessary to get each thing you absolutely need.
