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.

    If you want to live through 80’s dystopian books on this subject, we all need to start learning how to hack; compromise these company’s networks, take down their supply chain. In the end, we’re enabling them. We can either give up because there are too many of them, or educate ourselves on their weaknesses.

      I like the concept of destroying them from the inside. Get a job with them and at the first possible instant do

      rm -rf

      on all their servers.

        Cool, you go to jail and their sysadmin restores from backups. Accomplished nothing, ruined your life.

      That’s like saying “we all need to learn how to be spies and pick locks so we can steal the gold from Fort Knox”.

      Also, disrupting the supply chain can literally kill people. Look what happened when the Suez canal was blocked.

      how to hack; compromise these company’s networks, take down their supply chain.

      That will only result in hiring more network security and passing the costs onto consumers.
