Will, looks like it’s time to debank from Lloyds.
I don’t mean to pick on your comment in particular, but I’m really getting sick and tired of every response to these sorts of corporate criminals being just to boycott. It’s as if everybody’s so terminally capitalism-brained they don’t even consider political/legal/regulatory remedies to be options.
Why not all of those things?
I didn’t say people shouldn’t boycott. The “just to” was important.
Have you tried not using them? It’s your fault they are like that.
This logic is nonsense under the such an anticompetitive global economy. There are often only a few options, and they are often all shit in the exact same ways. A “vote with wallet” mentality makes little sense when the market is a oligopoly. As wealth inequality increases and competition decreases, capitalists increasingly ignore consumer demand. After all, we have less disposable income, less wealth, and fewer choices on who to give money to. Blaming the consumer gives companies and governments that refuse to regulate a free pass.
Har har, very funny.
