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.
Voting with your wallet is only so effective.
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.
