What everyone need to do is target all their stock and funds of a particular company…. And sell that shit. Short it. Buy their competitor’s stock.

Ok I know about the other ones but what's the bad stuff target did? Besides the general capitalistic crap.

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

If you make handmade items or refurbish things or do services there is a good chance people will not boycott you. This is more about corporations. If your a retailer I would ask that you participate although may be a bit late. Close for sales, don't put in any orders, and instead say you will be open for people to hang, discuss, play games, whatever.

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.

Never heard of this before. I like it, should be a weekly thing.

We have it every Sunday where I live, government-mandated. Not fun.

As expected, nothing came of this. Don't be pathetic. Stop buying from red states and wacko Trump supporters everyday.

Stop buying from red states

No wheat? Even imported Italian pasta is made from American Durum wheat. (Yes Italian pasta companies import US wheat, make pasta from it and then sell it as Italian.)

Forgot about this, but luckily I never really buy shit other than food.

Everybody will just buy more shit tomorrow. Are you people afraid of going into the streets?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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.
