I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

unfortunately we've entered an era where not wanting to condone/support/endorse/encourage shitty corporate behavior requires the sacrifice of not getting to enjoy most products and conveniences that are available. theyre often enjoyed by many other folks who just shrug and say "everyone else is doing it"
I find most companies that undercut their competitors' prices are cutting corners somewhere I don't want to be involved in. quality and customer service has a price. I try as hard as I can to pay that price, or just do without.
just try your best, pick your battles; it's all anyone can do without going insane and/or full modernity-hermit
(reminds me of the cattle "rancher" in 'king corn' who says theyd love to go back to selling grass fed, grass finished beef, but all anyone wants to buy is cheapass, corn sileage-stuffed feed lot crap, so it's either sell that, or go out of business. producers cant just choose their market; there has to be a demand for it.)
it's not because i think it's a protest. im not that stupid. i simply hate getting stuck in situations with goddann robots
