What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?

They keep raising prices, stating that it's due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn't seem to do much since I'm just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

That's the correct long term answer. But you might also add that there are forces that actively fight against this kind of prpgress, so in addition to what you've written, I'll add educate yourself and others, and don't fall to the cultural war paradigm the're creating to distract us.

That shit sounds boring.

You guys want to join my radical and poorly regulated militia instead?

Would that require actually meeting up with people? I think I’ll just post messages of despair on the Internet! /s

Why not! Lol

Nice, that makes three of us (but the other guy never comes to the meetings)

Boy, you'd think it be easier to recruit revolutionaries in an unhinged lefty commietopia echochamber, as people keep assuring me Lemmy is.

Yep 100%. It actually encourages me that they work so hard to keep people from uniting. It means they’re afraid of it.
