(26,312 posts)understand. But I don't understand really what a 24-hour shopping boycott will do in the long run anyway, won't most people go and buy their items the next day?
Maybe fashion a boycott against more unique items, such as not buying big ticket items, which, most of us don't really engage in massive purchases anyways (other than the occasional house or car, etc.). But this will hurt workers (particularly union workers so I don't know about this).
And make boycott(s) longer duration too, if we going to make our voices heard, especially above the siren screams of tRUMP and muskrat, we need to make the boycott(s) longer and very pointed, very directed at specific items (such as the Tesla) that we know will hurt those causing this painful and idiotic things to happen in the American economy.
A boycott against Tesla would be more functional I suspect (and there is a boycott apparently against Tesla now as we speak, from the news I've watched this a.m.). And it would be directed at muskrat too, since he is more associated w/ the Tesla brand than anything else I can think of. This particular boycott is doing wonders too, against Tesla.
A boycott against tRUMP? Boycott his businesses, his golf courses, anything that tRUMP pushes as part of his ridiculous periodic White House sidewalk sales that he puts on a periodic basis to pad his pockets even worse than he's doing already. Maybe we should run some sort of ongoing tracking mechanism on items to boycott, publish it in some manner.
