Who Supports Corporate Greed? My Friends & I
I support corporate greed when I buy things that are not making me money or healthy.
As we approach 2025, what can consumers do if they don’t want to continue with massive corporate greed?
Anytime I pay for Tennis tickets, I often reflect on how much each player paid for two weeks’ work and how much advertisers made off my tickets. That is right. Tennis players share their income with others, work all year, sleep less, and brutalize their bodies. They deserve their income.
While enjoyment is okay, I’m participating in corporate greed if the ticket cost is deep in my pocket. Why am I complaining?
Who is helping corporate greed? People who support them with their time, money, and energy.
Let’s see.
- One of my group members attends monthly musical concerts and complains about credit card debt. Who is fooling who?
- I used to share a workspace with two young women who called Uber Eats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And they always badmouth CEO compensation and millionaires. Are these Uber Eats customers jokers, or do they live in fantasy land?
