I'll admit I'm not too informed on the economic side of things, so I'll take your word for it. In general, this thread was meant to try to convince consumers to gradually become more aware of their decisions and what effects they have on businesses. Obviously it was misinterpreted by many, maybe I need to be clearer with my points, but I still believe that part of the blame falls on the consumer. And I agree with you that timing is important. If the community can get behind something when the time comes, maybe a change will actually be made.
