Unless this is flamebait, it is wrong. I see this argument in countless different incantations. Sure, our 'corporate overlords' in all compass directions play an oversized role in compounding our problems, and we should go all-in to force them to improve their ways. In addition to that all our small collective actions matter just as well. They compound too. If you want to tackle wicked problems, there's no single one solution and a multi-pronged approach is needed.
