…so let people die, stop caring for our neighbours, allow ignorance and illiteracy to fester. Seems extreme and misplaced.
A better, less-nihilistic approach might be: stop buying things, cancel subscriptions, sell dividend-paying stocks, etc. Or even better: a general strike.
Dividends are free cash that the company distributes to shareholders whereas it ought to reward the workers imo. I see it as peak siphoning profit away from the working class to the “ruling” class (who don’t contribute anything).
Capital gains and the whole stock market are bad too. As is our tired, biased tax code.

Wait, what difference does it make whether the stocks pay dividends or not?
I suppose there isn’t much.

Jesus… a lot to fix.
A general strike is stopping doing those services en masse.
Yes, but it includes the whole population rather than a narrow sub-section. It would also send a much stronger message.
See what happens when CEOs and politicians need to wipe their own asses.
