So we dont buy anything for one day and then go back to ordering on amazon and that will have an effect on… something. Ok got it. Idiots.

It's supposed to be baby steps towards concrete action.

Kind of like if a smoker goes a whole day without smoking. Yea in the long run it's not gonna make a difference, but it's a start towards breaking the addiction.

No Restaurants? What? We're afraid the authentic turkish food place down the block is colluding with Trump, now? Idiocy.

IMHO we should have it every Friday or Every 28th or something like that.

I've been seeing maga dipshits saying that they will be buying more today and will enjoy the short lines, just out of spite. So if we all start saying we like shit they do, will they stop. Like reverse scycolgy? Could they really be that dumb?......please!

boycotts dont work but ill support any attempt at it, sure.

boycotts dont work

South African apartheid was brought down by a boycott. Another example is the Montgomery bus boycott initiated by Rosa Parks which ended in integrated buses.

Of course, these boycotts lasted for longer than one day. I think if there's enough participation in this single-day boycott, somebody will come up with one that's more sustained.

I get this, but as a small business owner who is already struggling, I worry about this and the other upcoming days.

I think the complete blackout is misguided. If we want to make a real difference, stop shopping at Amazon, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods etc. and replace them with locally owned businesses. I am not going to not get lunch from the mom and pop vietnamese restaurant down the street as a way to stick it to the oligarchs. It makes no fucking sense.
