ShowerThoughts

• Going without single use plastic items. A family member of mine even throws away tupperware after a single use because, "It's too much work to wash them."

• Gas prices too high? Reduce demand by choosing an alternative form of transportation when possible, or trade in that 8 cylinder truck that's never touched a dirt road, or been to a job site, for something more fuel efficient. Rent a U-Haul for the 1 time every 5 years you have to move your buddies couch.

• Don't like how mega-corporations monetize your information and do everything they can to make damn certain you don't 'own' anything? If avaible, support or contribute to an alternative even though you will likely receive a less polished product (e.g. Reddit vs Lemmy)

• Have a strong distaste for the rapidly expanding homeless population? Maybe sacritice some profit and don't raise the rents of your tenants ever year to "fair market rate" when you've already paid off the property or have mortage payments that are 1/8th what you're charging in rent.

I could go on. If you're poor as shit, then do what you have to do to get through the day. However, if you have the means then maybe, just maybe, stop and consider that convenience and personal gain is possibly not the most important thing in the world.
