They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

      There’s surely appetite building around the world for this. Who will throw the first stone that starts the landslide?

      What a horrible take, encouraging violence against people. For shame.

          Just gonna add onto here:

          DO NOT FEED THE ANTI-DISESTABLISMENT TROLLS

          THEY’RE EXPLOITING NON-VIOLENCE TO STOP YOU RISING UP TO PROTECT THEIR MASTERS

          DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM OR ENGAGE WITH THEM AT ALL. NOT A FUCKING WORD. DOWNVOTE THEM AND MOVE ON

          Don’t sling insults. By doing so it demonstrates that you have no argument worth making.
