In our Capitalistic country all the products, services, and goods can be affected by the People when we stop buying. Our power is our purse. This is our greatest weapon. We must spend our money very wisely.
Great reminder of the impacts have when we act! We should all make it a goal to "help one / harm one" as often as possible.
One small act daily to help an ally or harm an enemy adds up. Swapping stores, selectively remembering to be helpful, protecting an ally - they add up fast and are impactful!
The best way of getting the attention of the MAGA companies such as Target and Nestle is to kick em where it hurts.
Don’t buy their products
Kick them in the cash register
Wish we had a Costco where I live. all we have is a Kroger and anything else is either some small family shop with little to nothing or a 30 minute drive
We would have to drive 30 min in traffic to get to the Costco that's not always slammed busy; the closer one is also a traffic nightmare, but with the need to find parking in a too small lot thrown in.
I haven't shipped at target since they did that. I've walked in there once to pick up a prescription from CVS. That's it. And yes, I would've shopped at target many times. They've absolutely lost me.
What's hard about it? Too big of packages? Divide and freeze half the food. Don't buy produce that you aren't absolutely sure you're going to get to in 3 days.
I am one of those shoppers. And I'm not going back to Target either - they would need to do major, major mea culpas for a few years before I will set foot in it again. And since I don't see it happening, I guess I'm just done with Target.
As a very long time holder of Costco stock I can assure you they don’t care about the E & the I. They are successful because they embrace diversity of thought. Many of us bought in over a decade ago because of this.
It is GREAT that they're taking this stance. It's also true that while the corporation takes a stance, the people who work there create the atmosphere. Each store has a different vibe, and I've seen anecdotal reports of shittiness. All corporations are still suss.
You don't even need a warehouse nearby. Many items can be bought off of their web site, except for perishable food. Lots of things qualify for free 2 day shipping.
If you have kids or a pet or like seafood, wine, cheese or fancy prepared food, you're going to have a lot of fun.
I represent probably that 1% of Coca Cola drinkers who gave up coke to fight fascism you do know that Coke Cola invented Fanta for the nazi's when they couldn't get Coke products
We need facebook/meta, Amazon, Google, any company who went along with silencing information, it's time for the 1% to pay the price for their crimes, the system must force the tilt back to equality! We need the cooperation of the world to stand against them, just as Tesla, all must pay!
A line two blocks long at my Costco this morning 15 minutes before the doors opened! It’s def gotten more crowded than it already was in the past two months.
Just got back from Costco, so many people there! Bought all kinds of stuff (copious amounts of bakery items) I didn't need but was happy to do it because it at Costco!
I have tired to teach each of my kids you may not have much power at the ballot but you do have power with your money . Put your money where your mouth is!! I stopped shopping at target , tracker supply , hobby lobby the list goes on and on
How come all the trumpanzees aren't shopping there? When people were planning on boycotting Target, all the Donorrheics were saying "good now the store will only have decent people in it."
I’m not a trump supporter. I’m apolitical but most would categorize me as a fiscal conservative.
I’ve owned thousands of shares for over a decade & only set foot in a Costco once. They don’t sell anything I need but they have a great business model.
Trump issues are no longer political, they are moral. Very little to do with politics. President Musk took over that. So Trumpanzees are shopping at Costco?

Whoopsie I guess.

Financial reports will come out throughout this year and I think they should tell a similar story.
Costco sales for the quarter are up about 9% according to Reuters…

Too often people just post images that align with their political beliefs without any ground truth.
Don’t want this place turning into Facebook. 😂
For their DEI web services.
Not anymore she doesn’t.
Keep going!
Split bulk items w friends. You will save so much $.
Business no longer need our work as much - strikes have less power.
They do need our consumption.
If we don't BUY - they DIE.
It’s a ruse to imply the E & I matter to them.
Be an educated investor
Put your money where YOUR material interests lie.
