The US bombs a fishing vessel for suspected drug activities, a man survives, both the US and Ecuador release him because there's "no evidence he committed any crime". Yet somehow his non-crime was so severe he had to be bombed by US military. So insane. #military www.cbsnews.com/news/ecuador...

Big corporations get their power from us. If even 20% of the population stopped buying from them, we would see them make a u-turn on those decisions in record time. But most people are lazy, so nothing happens. I haven't bought anything on Amazon in 5+ years btw.
