The current hostile corporate takeover in the USA and the clear loss of political power of the common people, I started wondering what happened if people used consumption as their leverage. Since the system is designed for continuous growth, what would happen if a mass movement of people stopping buying new non-essential consumer goods?
It would send a much stronger message than angry public protests. Thoughts?
yeah its more avoiding corp as much as possible. The money saving is a side effect. So im preferring garage and estate sales and certain second hand shops. Old fashioned person to person local.
