here's the deal:
there's absolutely nothing the general populous can do about things. the only hope we have to regain any sort of concrete reality is to wait until this new world order bullshit implodes on itself. it is inevitable and uncontrollable by the regular guy. this world is owned by big business and cheaper prices goods and services being outsourced across the pond. this will catch up to us inevitably and implode the world economy. i guarantee it! before things implode we will have created 20 other financial monster countries that had no money before but now through our weaknesses will have amassed enormous wealth thus massing huge armies and nukes etc. etc. etc.
I personally try to give my business to the little guy. I will pay as much as 25% more to keep $ out of the big box companies pockets. if this thinking were to expand exponentially it would send a message to these mega companies that this behaviour is not tolerated and shit needs to change.

I know I know, good fucking luck making that shit work right?
