7. We can control the corporations by controlling our consumerism.
All it takes is group will and we can force the corporate media back to serving the public.

We are the largest part of the economy.
We can control it. We can crash it if it has to come to that.
There will no doubt be concerns raised about "Mom and Pop" businesses but we can control damage there to an extent, but this corporate threat to democracy is much more far-reaching than present-day Moms and Pops.

It's time we stopped fretting about Mom, Pop, and ourselves and started showing a little concern for great-granddaughters and great-great-grandsons.

Friggin' ants perform better as a self-preserving group than people do.
