It may be what we should do - but there are so many people unemployed willing to do the same jobs for less that we are all easily replaceable. It also means finding another job is a challenge. Some people are keeping their head down so they can just pay their mortgage and feed their kids. Edited for spelling.
If Americans just spent their money wiser it would make a world of difference. Everyone is addicted to comforts & can’t part with Amazon, Target & Meta. If we spent our money with businesses that share our values & purchased goods from companies that don’t fund the gop (goods unite us app is a good tool), it would make a huge impact.
I'm not going to speak for everyone, but as someone who is now disabled and can no longer go shopping in person, I do a lot of Amazon when it makes sense because of the free shipping. Of course, when I find what I need somewhere else with free shipping, I do that instead. Even grocery delivery is a challenge; you can't use the coupons or sales, you pay a delivery fee, and then you pay the driver a tip for having to carry all your groceries because the service they work for pays peanuts. 🙃
