A reminder of why we need to vote with our wallets, as these companies have rigged the system in their favour.

For-profit businesses are for profit. It's kind of the whole point. Any and all behavior is an attempt to increase capital and decrease costs. What individuals can do is come together to decrease their profits namely through boycotting. If the drop in profits is great enough they will head in the new directions of increasing profits aka what the people want.

That's it, I'm boycotting Lockheed Martin.

You definitely can, at least any services and products that are public facing unless for some reason you work in government procurement and or logistics somewhere where you can deny them contracts.
