[QUOTE="Frankenstein Underworld, post: 443200, member: 35"] Although I'm sure the dysfunctional life of a billionaire is much more enjoyable than the dysfunctional life of some average Joe. That said, it is ironic that these people's lives serve as the backdrop for our entertainment (ala primetime soaps). Even many "reality shows" are based around the wealthy. As a consumer, I make an effort to avoid their corporate dystopia as much as possible. I try to limit social media use to contact with family and friends in order to avoid doom scrolling, and I've cut out fast food restaurants completely. In fact, my diet has changed considerably in the last year since I started working with a nutritionist. I've cut out most of the processed foods and have been sticking to whole foods instead. Yes, I still do my shopping at Walmart, but I'm not spending as much. I'm also not buying as much junk. As a voter, I've chosen to act by refusing to give either party my vote. As long as they continue starting new wars, funding a genocide, enriching billionaires, and keeping the masses living in abject poverty, they have not earned my vote. Some may say my act of protest won't change anything, but to that I say that makes it as useful as my vote is. [/QUOTE]
