    You’re missing the point.

    You only have the option to vote with your wallet when you have the money to do it. I can’t “vote with my wallet” for electrified public transit, because I can’t afford to live in the places that have electrified public transit. I can’t even vote with my wallet for ethical clothing made in the US by workers paid a living wage, because that shit costs a few days wages for a single pair of jeans.

    Most of the choices are made by entities that individuals can’t exert any realistic amount of control over.

      No-one is forcing anyone to eat meat - not doing so is cheaper.

      No-one is forcing anyone to fly into holiday - doing so is also cheaper.

      And those two are by far the most impactful things a single person can do.

      It’s just that presented with a choice of doing the right thing and doing the thing that’s best for themselves most people are egoistic.

      Even poor people can vote with their wallet.
