You should be boycotting these companies already because they support extreme right politics by their ALEC membership:

  • FedEx
  • UPS
  • Motorola
  • Anheuser Busch
  • American Express
  • Bose
  • Chevron
  • Marlboro
  • Sony
  • Texaco
  • Boeing (fly on Airbus instead, see how to boycott Boeing)

You should be boycotting Amazon for many reasons.

If you oppose private prisons, then you already boycott these banks:

  • #BankOfAmerica (#BofA)
  • #FifthThird
  • #JPMorgan #Chase
  • #PNC Bank
  • #Suntrust
  • #USBank (#USBancorp)
  • #WellsFargo

Don’t think they are out of reach to Europe -- many European small banks that you assume are ethical actually outsource their investments to JP Morgan. Also, BofA uses different branding outside the US.

If you like transparency with food labeling, then you endorse labeling of #GMO food, in which case you boycott companies that lobbied against GMO labeling. There are hundreds of companies that fucked us over, but these are the top ten financers of anti-labeling lobby:

  • PepsiCo
  • Nestlé
  • General Mills
  • Coca-Cola
  • ConAgra
  • Campbell Soup
  • The Hershey Company
  • J.M. Smucker
  • Kellogg
  • Mondelez

Some of those mushroom into many brands. See the attached infographic.

You’re still confused. My post is not what you would search.

Do your own research. Make your own records. Search your own records based on your own criteria. Doing your own thinking is your job. Being at the extreme end of lazy has warped your perception of effort which leaves you w/absurd ideas around this bizarre 90% figure. Get off your ass and learn to use grep on filesystems. If you get that far then your bitching won’t kick in until 99%.

You took what I said too literal I think. This problem is the same as navigstion.

  1. Try finding a "perfect" route to drive trough all of europe
  2. Try finding a "good enough" route to drive across the whole of europe

Then compare the amount of work and results. Sometimes, good enough is good enough. And more would not be worth the insane amount of effort
