Yeah but I don't feel like suffering from every aspect of my life just to make an impact. My suffering will become a full time job. Focusing on not eating x/y/z, not wearing x/y/z, not doing x/y/z, not going to x, y, or z, for x/y/z reasons. And so on and so forth.
I work a day job, I don't have time to give a shit about most things, least of all adjusting my entire diet for activist ideology, let alone reading enough about these micro topics to get actionable data from. I have trouble just sticking to a solid routine every single day. If I possessed the power to just change my shit up for arbitrary disconnected reasons like lowering global antibiotics research, then I'd already have the mental fortitude to be a billionaire.
Would personally rather donate to a foundation that is able to accomplish the same goal on a larger scale. Our efforts should be focused on the rich putting their efforts into these things.
I never vote with my wallet. If I vote with my wallet and it costs me 2 hours to go across the city to get an item that's 14-16% of my day lost to acquire just one item in my life because I had the luxury of 'making a statement'.
Or paying more taxes to fund epa, fda and unilateral trade agreements to adress challenges so numerous that no mortal man can be expected to grok half of it in two lifetimes.
In order to do that though, you have to vote vith your er... vote.
