you cant buy out someone that doesnt want to sell
if 1 big corporation says they wont buy from 1 producer but that producer has thousands of small corner shops private shops he will go under? lol nope. take it from someone with a small family business. it wouldnt ammount to absolutely anything.
the price bullshit only works if people are unaware of the malicious practice and if they have 0 love for the businesses in their community. i have never bought anything fromn amazon because they use slave labor for example. i will not buy anything from big chains myself nowadays ever since i realize that a big factor behind the covid lockdowns are destroying small businesses.
are you aware of what an economic ecossystem is? have you read any case studies on it based off, say Silicon Valley for example?

many other people during the subsequent riots got the knee to the neck treatment.
as far as i am aware, none of them were killed by it.
it was the drugs + preexisting health conditions and stress.
and it wasnt even racist because of the ethnicities of everyone involved as well as the politics, ideology and race of their bosses and the people that handle their training
