The cotton swab that broke the camel’s back

My choices are to buy from spineless megaliths that kiss the ring and do away with fairness policies, buy 10x the amount I need from Costco or pay twice the amount from a drugstore with untenable worker conditions.

In the microcosm, I wield little influence. In the world at large, I am powerless. They only recourse I have against the choices made be the wealthiest MWM leading the Targets and Amazons is to send my money elsewhere.

So, to reward the chutzpah of Costco and Delta, I will buy in bulk and pay more for flights — because fuck you, syncophants.
