You are trying to exercise individual market power, when there are other "scabs" who will go and spend that money keeping prices inflated anyway.
Your action alone will not produce any value, it requires collusion with other market participants.
If you want to make a change you need to exercise power and that means unionizing.
- abeppu 3y agoYes, I agree -- but 'unionizing' might not take the conventional form of a formally organized group with leadership which can negotiate with corporations. I referenced the Budweiser case intentionally -- where there was certainly coordinated action among a large number of market participants, but it was kind of a disorganized and haphazard campaign, and it's not as though 'scabs' drank the beer that conservative activists spurned.
