I agree with this. However lately I’ve felt as if consumerism is so effective that people forget entirely about consumer responsibility in the chain. Businesses absolutely will die without customers. Consumer choice is a HUGE lever we can pull if we agree to do it. I’ve seen how deadlocked our legal system has become, and how narrow the cares of our politicians, and I scream inside when someone says we need to vote to solve the problem. Voting is a formal way of specifying who you think could help in your name. But it can’t just be one person with 3 million other constituents who is looking after your concerns. We’ve got to do it ourselves too. I’ve only just begun to face this fact myself.
