For some with limited choices, this would be a challenge. Living in a large metropolitan area, I am fortunate to have alternatives.
Not to mention, the 'privilege' is given by whether or not you have a monopoly in the area. That's not decided by the person, but by whether or not our societal systems have bothered to prevent said monopoly.
At the same time, attacking an organized effort to do that thing we're repeatedly told is our only option ("vote with your wallet") by pointing out that some people have no options isn't something done in good faith.
No one is expecting people with no ability to shop elsewhere to do so, nor to starve. It's a strawman argument.

100% agree, if anything it proves the point -- they have a monopoly in many areas, and that should be illegal.
