A way to combat supporting the asshole directly is to find and buy one second hand. Even swapping out a simple part for <$50 can extend an $800 vacuum cleaner by several years.
I agree with the Mr. Robot take in this thread but nothing matches the infectious dialogue and energy that takes place throughout the entire Deadwood series. I never hear or see it talked about online or in my friend groups.
Thanks for your comment, I specifically meant drums and should've clarified. Yamaha sets were always up there in cost compared to all low/mid range sets growing up through the 2000s, though I haven't compared prices in over 5 years. As far as guitars go, I'm currently learning and started with a Yamaha FG800 I picked up used for $175, though even full price wasn't bad.
I took a date out the other night for a drink and some food. We split a turkey sandwich and each ordered one basic cocktail. $41 + $9 tip. Could've made all that at home for less than $10. The US restaurant system as a whole is mental. Not even 5 years ago I had dozens of options during lunch to get a lunch special which included a whole bunch of stuff for less than $10. None of those options exist anymore, they're all gone.
