Good morning.
"Please explain to me how I can remain in the world without buying their product."
It's pretty simple. There are several oil companies and you are free to purchase products from any of them. With a little research you can even learn which oil company manufacturers of petroleum based products buy their petroleum from.
Most industries receive some degree of support and protection from government. Few of them are supported by property taxes and local taxes in the way that the state education establishment is. My grandson goes to a school that we pay for directly yet we still pay to support an administration heavy school district that we don't use and we are punished if we don't.
Are you part of the system?. I'm not flaming, just asking out of curiosity.
