No shopping today😊. Kind of a relief since I hate grocery shopping. Then joined newsletter since I do want to upset them (I don't consider that a sin😁)
Falmouth, Cornwall, UK - only shopped locally.
Cash except one sin (hey, it was an irresistible, fresh warm almond and cherry jam croissant - please forgive me 🙏! They only take card payments.) But they are local!) out for dinner tonight and will pay cash there too.
Forgive me father for I have sinned. I used my credit card in an independent Mexican bakery because they put out a fresh tray of homemade concha and I didn’t have enough cash. I tipped big, though.
An apology to all the part-time workers being sent home or told not even to bother coming in is in order.
This stunt I mean demonstration is loaded up on unintended consequences and requires good thought and good planning to avoid taking food off the plate of people facing economic hardships.
Anyone who spends one red cent today is a RACIST BIGOT and a COMMUNIST NAZI! Those people are TRAITORS who are a THREAT to democracy and an ATTACK on our constitution!!! Law enforcement should be on hand to ARREST all consumers and PROSECUTE to the fullest extent of the law!!🖕🏿🖕🏿
You know if we can get Trump to tour a Particulate Accelerator at some university or lab, and throw a bag of McD in; slam the door shut and hit the start button..?😂
Dear God,
Podcasters all over YouTube praising the blackout day while making no mention to their subscribers that are giving to them in large $$ that a transaction is a transaction.
Your post is the most informative regarding the Blackout, TY😃
I’m proud 2b doing 1️⃣ transaction today: Buying housecleaning 💵 from a trusted friend—my personal way to shout Fuck You🖕🏿to mega companies & at the same time support a hard-working community member, locally, via cash—under the table😜
I am standing in solidarity with the Economic Blackout, however it is my birthday and dinner was planned well before the chosen date. 😅 But I won't be doing any other purchasing, especially going forward, as I have actively been boycotting for over 2 decades.
May I just say to our friends outside the US. Every day should be Economic Blackout day for American businesses while Trump is in office. It's your money, make sure it's spent on goods and services for your local businesses and not to those that support the fascist American dictator.
Many more days to come. These massive corporations have also pushed out mom-and-pop stores everywhere and only respect their stock prices on Wall Street. They don't respect diversity in their workforce, which is really sad.
Most people aren’t paying attention to anything beyond their own life unfortunately. I was in several conversations about it this week though and people were on board.
Or if you want to shop, buy some Ukraine stuff from their post office store. Maybe a Russian warship, go f- yourself item or two? https://postmark.ukrposhta.ua/
It’s a small but powerful protest. Everyone can easily participate in, even grandma from her chair can feel like she’s doing something. We are doing it to remind our government that they answer to We the People not corporations. The resistance starts today every year now known as blackout day 
Look not to sound like a lazy ingrate here but couldn't you just... Oh, I dunno, steer some specific meteorites in some specific directions with notes attached that says "You were warned, fuckers"?
I waited until today specifically to delete my Target account and to close my Target credit card. As the customer service rep wasn’t at fault, I didn’t yell at her but when she asked why I was closing the credit card account I told her very calmly and specifically. 💪
everyday is an economic blackout when you are poor, why were poor people created to scare the shit out of everybody else God? God send George Carlin back we need him down here in hell right now, I know he evolved God but send him back for a vacation
I hope Canadian citizens and military won't "sell out" like most nations appear to have done. The U.S. may need your help to end Zionism, Muskrat, Trumpaloo and many others. I would seriously ask you to have this difficult dialogue with friends/family/strangers/etc.
and if they ask us why we tell them, it's proof that We The People can see that the coup seeks to strip us of our spending power & choice. Retail & Entertainment are dependent upon our money. if we fall, they fall.
We should do this every last friday of the month. Even if the companeis make up the difference from people stocking up beforehand, or running sales to make it up, a full business day with negative revenue will freak stockholders out.
The power of the people are showing up today,not buying from the big guys. DEI is something that the company's promised and now because Trump is President they say we're going to stop doing that. This is absolutely positive b******* that I just f****** low lives. You're not supposed to pre-surrender
I know, right! My butt is planted at home God and will remain here for the entire day. AND I don't order in for a damned thing EVER so I don't have to worry about that
Also to put the cherry on top, unsubscribe from one shit-ass company service (Amazon prime, Amazon music, etc) AND/OR delete your account on Twitter, airbnb, etc
Not just one day for me! I cancelled Amazon on inauguration day and will boycott any and all companies or products supporting this coup. Democracy deserves more than one day. This includes all stocks in any companies either. I have liquidated my stock portfolio of traitors to democracy!!
Can we add loads of inventory from big businesses in our in-app Carts and let them sit for the day or two. Will it trigger a giant "Cart abandonment" in sales costing them way more without ever giving them our money.
I am not buying anything today, but I think this needs to be a sustained effort!! We should have an economic blackout every Wednesday!! We need to create momentum so many others can join in. They can show up by not showing up! It can be a quiet act, but have a huge impact
let's go beyond a 24hr boycott. start finding ways to live your life without relying on amazon/walmart/etc. get creative and learn how to live without all the bullshit they have convinced us we "need"
I'm way ahead of you on McDonalds. That one has always been a full time boycott. Need to go hard on Amazon. Bezos has gone to the dark side, if he wasn't already there. He needs to stop waving his influence around, get on his mega yacht and go enjoy the rest of his life without spoiling all our days
agree! I've canceled Prime and won't use Amazon. If I want something from Amazon, I find the store's actual website and order there. Wal Mart and Target are gone as well.
I just drove by best buy and target, whole foods. I saw less traffic today. This plaza is usually busy. The people in this area have money so they live in a different reality 🤣🤣🤣
National blackout day
Means not buying from let’s say
Walmart, Wendy’s, and Amazon too,
We hope for one day to put on the screws!
If it works and hurts all these rich companies,
We will do it again and they won’t think it’s funny!
I vote for making the 28th each month economic blackout day for a couple of months, if that doesn't work, let's go to weekly - perhaps Saturdays or Sundays? An opportunity to spend time with family or friends or in the outdoors? Just a thought.
PLEASE share the 💩 out of this on how to immediate cancel & get prorated refund from Prime. Cancel your Amazon Prime by calling 1-888-280-4331. If you paid for a full year, you CAN demand an immediate cancellation & prorated refund. You will have to push hard but do it! Kick Amazon to the curb.

L.
let's do something real. 1 day boycotts have been studied. they do nothing.
Stop supporting oligarchic companies
Go to a foreign grocery, too, way cheaper and often isn't feeding our shitty system.

also - #BuyNothing - give away things you don't need, take what you need.
I buy coffee from Goddamnazon, but I'm looking into alternatives.
Haven't set foot in a Target in a few years.
Clearly most people didnt get the memo ..
Pissed off 😡

I bought one thing, it was local and I paid cash.
One day won't be enough, but it's a good start to show the power of the people when they organize.
This is why those in power will try to keep us fighting each other, so we don't unite and take our power back.
You certainly won’t see it on MSM
Yikes 😳
“According to available data, the majority of people in the top 1% of wealth in the United States are White, making up around 96% of this group”
Yes,
MAGA 🍎 it’s about RACE
