One thing to do is take our business elsewhere - support credit unions instead of banks like Chase, support farmer's markets instead of big food chains and so on. One could argue that "normal" people might not be able to make much difference, but if 50 or 100 million of us take a very small step, it goes a long way. The biggest problem is that we (almost all of us) have come to value convenience more than anything else - convenience at the risk of privacy, security etc. That needs to change, and it is very hard (I had a colleague flip out the other day, because something he ordered from Amazon was a day late - just one frickin day, and it wasn't even something important or urgent). It requires a fundamental mindset change.
