It starts at home. Step one is to stop participating. Reduce or eliminate spend and/or engagment with the things that are enriching these people. Doesnt have to be perfect. Cancel your prime membership. Prioritize purchases at the businesses in your community. Only buy from Amazon when you have no other choice. Get rid of facebook. Etc etc.
The fact of the matter is that the way the world is structured right now, its impossible to be 100% perfect about this. You dont have to be perfect, just do the best you can.
If everyone did this (they wont), it would affect the stock price, and that is where billionares derive their power. Even a small downward trend is enough. But your life will change in a positive way if you do this as an added bonus. In some ways life has become tooo conveniant.

I can’t cancel prime due to elderly parents who live in a rural area and don’t drive. BUT there are like six or seven of us on the Amazon account sharing one account. As long as you trust the people not to use your credit card maliciously you can do that or you just delete your card every time you make a purchase. And we don’t all live in the same household either
