    That was always the plan here. Stock up, cut unnecessary spending, stop spending. Who in America wouldn’t be doing this right now? They’re trying to rob everyone blind. Best way to fight it as a mere citizen of a stupid nation is to not participate in their games, and protest, of course.

    We can cut consumerism from our lives in the US with minimal effort. All those in the Federal government and billionaire class want from us is our money, they don’t care about our lives, they just want to kill, deport, or destroy us. So, why give them any more money? (Still shop and support local business, don’t cripple your life, don’t live on only ramen noodles, don’t skip medical care, just, shrink that footprint.)

    Live minimal. Live free.

      This is exactly why Amazon is getting into pharmaceuticals and healthcare, and why Amazon and Walmart ran the competition out of towns across America, and why they’ve been so hellbent on dismantling the post office. All to slowly but surely trap American consumers into buying from the Monopoly. “Land of the Free” sure doesn’t have a lot of choices left.

      Not disagreeing with you, if anything vehemently agreeing with you. Support local. Live minimal. Fuck the corporate giants.

      Im Canadian and this anti American movement made me realize how much unnecessary crap we buy from the U.S. I don’t NEED a box of pop tarts or American junk food. I end up putting so much stuff back now that I save myself money and calories.
