> We can "call out" whatever you want. People vote with their dollar. Target, Walmart, cheap resellers on AliExpress/Amazon are "winning" every day because the most important thing most consumers care about is rock bottom price. I don't think "calling out" will do much other than virtue signal.
People also vote with their votes. If voting with dollars was the only thing that counted, we'd still have rivers so polluted they'd regularly catch on fire (see http://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Cuyahoga_River_Fire http://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Cuyahoga_River_Fire).
All all "voting with dollars" does is sum up an unfathomable number of myopic, usually short-term decisions. Sometimes the overall result is counter-intuitively brilliant, but other times the terrible result of myopia magnified.
