19. I recognize that there are fewer and fewer alternatives

With the consolidation of the health care system under mega-money, there are vanishingly few places to go when you exclude Walgreens. I already don't like CVS, and, Walmart, fuhgeddaboudit. I still bring all of my medical purchases to a local independent shop, even if I could shave a few bucks off by going to the biggies.

I am not under the delusion that my action will mean Jack-diddly-squat to these folks, but, as a single droplet, at least I can lend my insignificant weight to the flood.
