It’s easy to use the “Vote with your wallet” when you have funds to do so. People can’t vote with their wallets when they are making a choice between eating themselves, feeding their children, buying the life saving meds they need, etc. That choice is effectively removed from them, they have to go with the lowest available cost. Also consider that Family Dollar only carries the high margin items and nothing else. The local stores that carry fruit and veg do so at little to no margin or at a loss, so when they go under due to a Family Dollar moving in the community often will have no access to such items even if they (Family Dollar) stays, but to then leave the area and abandon a community after killing the local stores in the name of the all mighty dollar. . . . . They are just scum.
That’s an excuse. You want something slightly better now for a short time and bad for a long time? Or slightly worse now and better for a long time? If you can’t make that choice properly, you deserve the consequences of your poor choice. If you assume everyone else will do the right thing so you don’t have to, you also deserve the consequences to your poor choice.
Start blaming those that actually cause the issue, not the dealer. It sucks there’s cocaine available to buy. Just don’t buy it. If you do, that’s fully your fault. Not the dealer.
