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?

    Great recommendation. I always get cheap cloths from goodwill and other charity places. You can find great t-shirts and pants there for real cheap. Good “brands”, too.
