Unfortunately it’s the right choice. Otherwise you get gobbled up by others doing it. And with the wage gap being as wide as it is it no longer makes sense to try to sell a lot of things to the lower middle class, instead fewer more expensive things to the upper class.
It sucks ass. But California and one other place have legislation they’re trying to pass I think that says it the wage gap at a company is so large taxes go way up based on the gap and they use the taxes to help fix the gap. So hopefully that works out…!!
It would help if consumers just had a freaking spine. When you see they’re trying to hose you, just find another retailer. If there’s no other retailer, do without or find it used.
It’s hard to send a message buy not buying a car that you can’t afford to buy anyway… or conversely, buy a car you approve of and is exactly what you want/need but again you don’t have money to do so.
More consumers not being able to afford a new car is a message by itself. Voting with your wallet is not as impactful as good legislation but more effective than rolling over and taking the shit deal.
Yup, that’s what we do. But we’re in a place where we can and have the bandwidth to do it.
Unfortunately people can’t care about everything or have bandwidth for it. I used to care a ton about starving people in Africa, then I got married and had kids. Not that Africa isn’t important, but my bandwidth shifted.

Voting with your wallet is only so effective.
