If you stop buying something for a week or a month when the price goes to high then they will have to either drop the profit expectations to reasonable or stop getting new orders because the stuff on the shelf didn't move. So a refusal to pay the new price will make them rethink their decision and it will keep inflation down by putting money into stuff that the price does not rise so high as the greedy companies. Sure I realize that most small businesses will fail but the big ones connected to coke or pepsi will survive but their stock will drop when their sales decline and stockholders will tell them to drop down the price for a bit then try to rise it later slowly but if we are alert and strong in our spending attitudes we will then make sure the real food and stuff that is essential sells and the crap just goes away and no reorders keeps the ports and trucking free for life essential products.
