Last was a pair of Oakleys that I bought on special for around ~$90. Can't remember the site. I've also bought cheaper at TJ Maxx, Marshall's etc.that were totally fine.

......that's still Luxottica, which is my whole point. "Don't like it, just avoid them" doesn't really work when it's a functional monopoly.

  1. I only purchase them if they offer them at a reasonable price that i have the means to pay.

  2. If they do not, I don't give them my business. Simple as that. Can find stuff at TJ Maxx, Job Lot, etc. that does just fine.

  3. DOES NOT GIVE ANYBODY THE RIGHT TO STEAL!

Every single one of those things is beside the point...are you deflecting on purpose, or should I try to explain what I'm saying in different terms you might understand?

You are the one deflecting. They stole something that didn't belong to them. End of story.

What exactly do you think I'm deflecting from?

From the fact that they stole and deserve punishment under the law.

Where have I made any statement about that? I am just correcting your misconception about the ability to boycott this business.
