Post Activism

What if we just stopped supporting broken things? My fantasy is everyone stops paying their health insurance premiums, and then flood emergency rooms with even the most minor of complaints. The insurance industry would collapse in a week. Is that what I want? I truly fantasize about it; that and the executives of the top five insurance companies becoming infected with some strain of foot-long intestinal parasites. Anger and injustice prompts activism, but what happens when people of good hearts simply bail out of the whole enchilada? No votes, no taxes, no contributions to 401(k)s and no income to insurance companies, major polluters, and companies that pay women 80 cents to each buck they pay men? It would be like Ghandi meets Joe Strummer. That would be change you can count on.
