Then you must never shop at Walmart, eat at McDonald's or any fast food chain ever. You probably grow your own food too seeing as how grocery stores are all chains who drove mom and pop stores out of business in the great name of capitalism. How is living like that? I've always wanted to
We don't have Walmart over her (as much as they try and invade). I have stopped shopping at Tesco who are the closest we have (and actively protest against their unchecked expansion), and avoid all superstores if at all possible - as they value money above everything, something not acceptable to me. All my purchased food is bought from a store chain who have a clear and strict ethical sourcing policy - I have no choice in this, due as you mention to the impact of chain stores killing off small business . My parents grow their own vegetables and rear pigs, which provides me with much of my needs. I act critically with all my purchases.
I stopped eating fast food 5 years ago as an ethical and health based decision. MacDonald's who you mention sicken me with their actions as well as their food. None of the others are any better.
Kind of ironic that someone with The Legend as their avatar feels the need to defend Babylon. As someone emancipated from Babylonian slavery, I suggest you listen to the man's work and transcend from the need to attack others (albeit passively through ridicule).
And living like I do feels right to me. Ethical and responsible. Maybe show a bit of courage and try it yourself - you've always wanted to after all!
