      I don’t agree but you can either vote with your wallet or mindlessly consume.

      One is better than the other but yeah 80% of spending is not really discretionary… Gonna need to get a rental, gonna need healthcare, transports education etc

      But you can stop drinking soda for example… It ain’t much but it is something.

      People don’t have to pay subscriptions either…

          Is $6 too much for a bag of Ruffles?

          After nearly three years of price increases, signs that buyers have had enough are starting to mount. On Thursday, the food and beverage giant PepsiCo reported a 0.5 percent decline in revenues in the second quarter in its Frito-Lay snack business from year-ago levels, a result of a 4 percent drop in volumes in the category.

          I think maybe we voted with our wallets against $6 chips but you could probably convince me otherwise in a paragraph :)
