Giving money to Amazon, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Google .etc

It's like, you can't have an argument for price gouging, when you're enabling them by spending. If people were smart, they'd stop giving them money 10 - 15 years ago and they'd be right now, trying to reconstruct so they can be more economically friendly than how they are now.

So people can just say whatever shit they want offhanded and not be criticized, but if you want to say they're wrong you have to give exhaustive reasoning and proof for each and every thing, huh?

That's a really dumb thing to believe so I'm wondering if you just speak frivolously without thinking and would like to walk your position back a bit.
