Like an app where you input your opinion on an issue, and you can find businesses with leadership or lobbying efforts that don't oppose you? You'd run out of places to shop pretty quickly with 5 corporations run by oligarchs that own basically all consumer products in America.

An app that suggests alternative products made by companies aligned with your politics. Instead of buying Nestle made cheese, why not try Lucerne, etc. Slowly over time change will happen and good companies that people want to support will live and bad companies will die. It all starts with a knowledgeable consumer who believes in their own power.
