I don't agree but you can either vote with your wallet or mindlessly consume.
One is better than the other but yeah 80% of spending is not really discretionary... Gonna need to get a rental, gonna need healthcare, transports education etc
But you can stop drinking soda for example... It ain't much but it is something.
People don't have to pay subscriptions either...
I think maybe we voted with our wallets against $6 chips but you could probably convince me otherwise in a paragraph :)
