I absolutely fucking agree that corporations are evil. They don't get a fuck about anything other than enriching their shareholders at the expense of the public.
Therefore, this summer (I'm a teacher so I had an abundance of free time), I diligently researched every single vendor I pay and fired every corporate entity on my payroll (I don't really have a payroll, but as an older woman I do pay for a lot of the services I can't do myself).
If it was possible to replace the corporate entity with a local individual I did so. And, I told the people I hired that I specifically hired them because they were a person in my community and not a corporation.
They were all grateful and thrilled to have my business.
I encourage everyone to do so. Sadly, not all corporations can get off our payroll (I stubbornly hang on to Netflix), but LOTS of them can be replaced with people who are your neighbors. DO IT!!
