So stop giving the Trillionaires your money. They have that trillion because we buy things from them... from Amazon, from Tesla, etc. You don't like those thi

  That is a problem when Amazon buys up everything that moves and integrates it into their product line. At some point it becomes impossible to avoid. Most of the snack and soft drink industry is owned by like what, 3 megacorps? You don't like existing? Just die. Nobody's stopping you.

    You really picked up the worst possible examples. Solution #1 - don't buy properly crap food that is literally slowly killing you and making/keeping you addicted, while you pay the money to said corporations. A generally smart move. Yes they also own normal food(TM) brands, but here in Europe there are tons of alternatives on shelves, ie 1 cocoa powder from nestle, other 5 from small often fair trade producers. Maybe in US Amazon owns everything, although I doubt it. But US is what, 5% of the world? In most of the world, Amazon is OK but nothing big. In Switzerland for example, there is no Amazon and its non-trivial to order anything from other countries, many sellers simply do not ship here. Stuff comes via Swiss post/small companies, from local eshops. So yeah not giving much to Bezos even if I wanted to. Now what did I solve though? Nothing apart from good feeling (and paying more for postal serviecs and eating more healthily)
