OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.
If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.
Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

Upgraded my membership at a bulk retailer that is standing up to this bullshit to show my support.
Just need to decide which one.
If you're following a brand on social media anywhere, why?! Unfollow them now. If you're really waiting for news on deals, make them email you instead of handing all your info over passively.
Use this template or customize it to send a letter to explain why you are boycotting them

It’s also important to be kind to those who have to turn to the worst companies for the basics.
And BE SURE YOU MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOU WILL COME BACK1/
It’s not about the stock prices of companies that also make up a lot of our 401ks.
It’s about having absolutely no faith on the economic leadership of the US. Best to stop spending and stock up on cash to weather the storm.
My new diving gear will be Italian instead of US made and my bow accessories will be french.
And that may mean a treasure hunt!
Where is your nearest local grocery store (diamonds in the rough nowadays)?
Coffee shop?
Hardware store?
If you are going out to buy something, is there a local option for that something?
u must have seen that Japanese movie right?
Equally, I believe we should all be deleting our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts.
I canceled Amazon/Audible, Disney+, Netflix, etc. in Dec. when the oligarchs started attending functions. Never shopped at Walmart. Now disentangling myself from Google.
When shopping, no US goods.
Americans: BUY LOCAL. You should be able to trace where the product comes from. If a biz is using amazon as a b2b supplier or storefront, do not buy.
Your purchase from someone on Craigslist could help someone buy groceries or pay rent.
rule #2: meet in a populated location. Do not go to their home, do not invite them to yours.
Meet at a bank if you can. They have security cameras. And you can get the cash there.
If you're American you can't stop paying income tax. But you can refuse to stop giving money to American corporations. The choice is yours.
I've been practicing some level of austerity since he won.

It's time, pass it on

Did not buy a Tesla when we could have. Saw through that Afrikaner sooner than most.
Cashed out on TSLA months ago.
boycotts are, IMO, not easy; they only work if you can focus on one company and then do the huge amount of work needed to let the other 90% of the population know there is a boycott
so maybe being selective, start with Target ?
As long as you buy it's all good!

and some BBC
U can't trust anything anymore
trumpy cat is fucking nuts
this guys mental illness is destroying this country
I may need help in the future.
no fries no drink
just a handful of the dollar burgers
they were losing money on that and the franchises would complain to high hell about the loss leaders
no one else does this u have to bring a drink
and they don't have them anymore

Only Costco
Amazon because Alexa is now automatically spying, no opt out.
Rest should be self explanatory.
Don't just hand over your money and complain about them using it to screw you!
Nah they're at least a *bit* illegal if they're deemed to be meaningfully threatening to the boycotted.
It needs to be a collective effort. Therefore it is important to both speak out that you are doing it AND actually do it. This way others can join in if they think it's a good idea.
Steam/epic games are more of an "account has access" thing, files I've downloaded feel more like actual possession.
Happy that it's catching on now! I was getting worried companies would stop making blu-rays all together because of streaming.
My setup is far more convenient than a subscription service.
Rip them all (DRM-free) to my Plex library, and watch/listen whatever I want, whenever, and in a lot of cases, wherever I want.
Also shoutout to creators who use Kofi instead of Patreon so we can choose one-time payments, y'all are real ones <3
The problem with suburbia is there are no options and we're obligated to Costco (yay!) and Kroger (fuu...).
Purchases, projects, everything on hold for as long as possible.
Keep up the fight!
walmart temu u mean?
I was never a fan of amazon
they try to trick u to pay for shipping at the last minute
and I was always appalled at how little respect they had for their customers
I shop there when it's the best price though..IDK
If yoy don't want to Gove your money to a company then absolutely don't. But if you are expecting change from your lack of service......idk about that.
At the end of the September 2024 there was $4.1 trillion saved.
This is affected by what Trump is doing!
Everything the US does affects the world.
All because they didn't want to refund me for an item I RETURNED!
If you have a 401k you have a lot of power that you probably aren't wielding, just a few hours of research and you can make a plan to move your retirement away from American oligarchs
- Cancelled my Amazon Prime account.
- Replaced my Amazon Prime credit card with something else.
- Cancelled all my subscribe and saves and upcoming preorders.
- Switched to buying more directly from local websites and places like Grove.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
it's going to $0 if sanity prevails.
Just a little?
DON'T FUND THE NAZI.
I made a whole thread about it :p
You vote with every single dollar.
really?
They now auto-ship it to me, and no reason to go to Target.
It's a lot easier than people think to do these changes.
My husband also insisted to support a black business if possible.
I have no issues with them, to be clear.
get out of assets in places that are unstable and pursuing dangerous directions
put assets in a safe place
1oz gold = 3k
Voting with that dolla

Canned foods,
Digital defense/offense (usb killers, spare data drives, Bootable drives, NFC programming and wiping tools, wifi/Bluetooth deauther (check local laws) drones, large legal antennaes, walkie talkie) BUY YOURSELF SOME USEFUL TECH TOYS! (Soon be pricey)
not trying to be a dick
but if people lose jobs they lose houses
if they lose houses
the supply goes up
and then the price goes down
IDK just my guess
and demographics
the boomers aren't going to need all of those houses when they get put into homes
but she said
yeah he's a creep and this is nuts
so IDK there are innocent people working at these places
these moral dilemmas are black and white binary options
tmobile is the best deal 4me and I despise comcast
And everyone piggybacks on the AT&T landlines. It's just how the beast operates.
Don't feel bad about using whomever. Your dollars are going to them no matter what.
