The consumer has only one lever remaining to them, and that’s to stop consuming. There’s obviously things you can’t not consume, ofc, but the right to repair movement gives us a glimpse of the way. Until we take matters into our own hands and corporations see their profits diminish, there will be no change. Didn’t you know? CEO’s are gods now, and can’t be concerned with amoeba like us.
Consumers stopping consuming is devastating for the economy and will immediately bite them back harder. What’s far better is them having the means to consume and also doing so.

I don’t think it’s just the US. Price of everything is going up everywhere.
More than consumers, we are workers, and can shut society down by not working. Revolution also works.
My family pulled that lever agout two years ago. Even previous to that we had reduced a lot.
