Something I've often thought about that I feel is under-discussed is this very topic. The retail landscape of the past 20 years has decimated not only Mom and Pop sundries stores but, also very importantly, competition to between large retailers. As someone who often has to buy specialty medical and electronics the option of "buying local" is often non-existent.
I believe the goal of the WEF and ESG is to actually crush any real competition remaining in the markets, centralize all avenues of purchase to one of two providers (as in the insurance markets), then institute social credit to make life unlivable for us dissenters.
Boycotts are good, but keep your head on a swivel.
Replying only to the title here - yes.
