Not going to be effective at all. This sort of thing would need to happen for months before "maybe" they'll notice. Just one day isn't going to matter at all to all these major corporations.
March 7th- 14th. No Amazon shopping, this will hurt a little, but if it works we can go longer. I deleted my Amazon account, as many others should as well.
I doubt it works. It needs to be systemically one corp at a time w a posted list so they can see who’s next… start w the A’s … after a month of lost sales they might get the message #findthehack

Total mistake. It's"hold your breath til you turn blue" politics. Like wearing pussy hats, it will have little impact on anything other than giving right wing media a chance to say how little impact it had.
Every Friday. That's my plan
Stay home ride my bike and read a book. And eat my sweet and spicy sunflower seeds. Solid plan and good for my ment health.
Just read this statement: “Anna Tuchman, a marketing professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, thinks the economic blackout will likely make a dent in daily retail sales but won’t be sustainable.” Let’s prove them wrong.
They are so insipid like that... like the majority of their ilk, they will have trouble "keeping it up" and there is no Blue or Yellow Pill for that (they could not afford them anyway, so...)
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!!
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
You are the only content creator that I am watching today. I love your style, Texas Paul! And I don't like much about Texas, lol
(I'm from TX, so I can say that;)
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"
A good start for me is to stop looking at Instagram - all of the influencers that post there have Amazon pages and convince us we need what they have. I have already stopped following people that promote products and it has made a huge difference in my spending habits.
I agree with you. It is easy to do a boycott for a day but much harder to figure out alternative ways to supporting these companies. However making a concerted effort helps us realize why we are doing it!
How can U.S. citizens contribute $$$ directly to Ukraine for military support since our illegitimate leader is failing to fulfill the committment? UNITED24???
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!
As a small business owner, please don’t forget about supporting us. Often times, your local small business is surviving month to month. Losing a single day of revenues can be tough.
I was planning on partaking in the blackout but since I got Covid I needed cough medicine ugh it was that or bang on head on the wall until I stopped coughing lol this sucks.
I was about to donate to Abigail Spanberger (VA Governor race) today but realized I would be using a credit card so tomorrow. I’ll do that tomorrow as well as Mikie Sherrill (NJ Governor race)
I bought a lamb shwarma sandwich from a small local shop. (I'm helping them with their social media marketing.) TBH, mos small independent businesses should be exempt from boycotts. One day with zero sales hurts.
I'm going 7 days other than necessity (food and gas). & I make my own food, but I'm not buying eggs. U can let them spoil on the fuckin shelves. I'm 3 days in already. Maybe by Tuesday I'll try 4 another week. Fuck amazon,Walmart,target,fast food,eggs,& any other price gouging scumbags. KEEP UR CRAP
Besides today, Feb. 28th being honored as an economic blackout day, there is also a Facebook blackout today in which l participated too as well. Hit them all in their pocket.
One day blacks will a small dip for these corporations.
In order to get their attention.
You would have to make the market crash.
That will cut off their funds.
If they get upside down they will lose their control.
They only care about the stock value.
Remember without Republican Tax Cuts.
There would be no debt.
There was no running debt prior to Reagan.
Or again before Bush Jr.
That is when the Corporate Donor started to push.
I made my own coffee today before heading to work to help my elderly client for the day. Have a blessed day #EconomicBlackout #No #Let'sMakeADifference #fuck Trump. #FuckElon#FuckAllThoseNaziCircusClowns.👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙💙💙
Project 2026.
True-blue red-blooded American patriots step up & remove Trump from office by any means necessary.
If the military that We the People pay to protect & defend our Constitution & die for our Liberty ain't going to do it, then We the People will have to do it ourselves by Revolution.

We don’t stop til it’s a penny stock.
Today, next Friday, we keep the rhythm going. Build the momentum until we go a full 30, 60, 90 days.
They will break

We have to get all our democratic politicians on to this platform.

When it’s trending toward penny stock territory- we are doing to work.
Also avoiding all Meta platforms today!
