People that scream boycott(can't force companies to a hire a person based on looks, be qualified!)same people crying about companies are being racist/discriminate because they won't hire them. Why would any company want to invest in areas prone to riots, boycotts, internal/external theft and crime?🇺🇸

Why would anyone not have empathy for marginalized / minority communities who have been & continue to be discriminated against DESPITE being OVERqualified? Black women are the most educated demographic in USA — yet we see few in leadership roles. The most qualified are NOT in positions of power.

I want the fired federal workers to form a co-op or B-Corp that sells all the stuff I used to buy on Amazon and Target. I don’t have much but I’d pitch in to help this get launched; I can’t keep buying a years worth supply of everything from Costco.

Honestly, if people started using cash again on a regular basis, it would put a major hurt on credit companies, considering that they make money everytime somebody swipes their card.

It's interesting how things change from country to country: here many small business don't even accept card (despite it being illegal to do so) so that they can evade as many taxes as possible. So here small business leech on society while workers have to pay more in their stead

I run a small business in the UK and I find it's cheaper, easier and safer to take cards. I wish everyone would switch away from cash.

I would add employee owned companies, like the grocery chain in the Pacific NW called WinCo, as well as companies that treat their employees with dignity and respect, like Costco.

Keep in mind that for many small businesses, banks charge them for handling cash deposits. Using debit, while a bank product, often costs a small business less than cash spread across their transactions. Credit card is the most expensive + is big profit for banks.

Functionally it's a buy local and get back to nature message. To let go of subsidized corporations that don't care about how bad the country gets. Oil companies are also subsidized.
The one big flaw is that it's just one day, today. Better if it wasn't taken as a "leftist thing."

One day is not enough. One day is just not enough. We can give up more. In fact, we urgently need to.
We are all in this pot and the burner is turned up to HIGH. Are we gonna jump out in time or slowly boil?

I think of the one day as the gateway like "See, you can do one day, one day wasn't even hard. Can you do two days, three, a week? See how many "buy nothing days" you can string together, can you beat your own personal best?"

For those of y'all participating in the Economic Blackout today, consider using that money you're withholding to donate to abortion funds! 💸
I have created a website with abortion funds/clinics/support orgs listed by state: donationsforabortions.com

I am told that if you put items in your Amazon cart their system assumes you are going to buy them and starts moving them towards your destination BEFORE you buy. If true it would almost want you to add bunch of common items to your cart on the 28th and let it sit there all day.

All it takes is for 11.5 million to do this every day. That's the size of a large Youtuber's sub list. It's 3.5% of our population. Be the change you want to see.
If you have no other choices than to patron the places (location, etc), figure out other ways to resist. You got this 💪

I DoorDash for a living bc I have 10 Disabilities & I’m unemployable so I’d rather not be homeless. but I can’t say no to FastFood(for lunch) at 2100-if I took 2 hrs & 40miles a day to come home and not eat Taco Hell I’d be fucked! The rest I can gladly boycott esp WM for terminating me while on LoA

There's also local elections every Tuesday in many places across America. There's some coming up actually, on March 4th - same day as the big March 4th protest. So you can March Forth (to the Polls).

If you live in a deeply red state most small businesses are MAGA. So the small business side is not really a good blanket ok the support.

I never buy from Amazon and try wherever possible to use cash. It's completely liberating not to get massive card bills at the end of the month.

I could see that but then you’re also cheating yourself out of credit card points and building a better credit score. Also means you have enough cash out that it’s not sitting in a bank earning interest or investing. Just hurting your own future there. :( Maybe you have enough money for both though!

Ma'am are you saying boycotting is meaningless? Because if u are that's insane. Boycotting is historically extremely impactful. They want to be richer and all they care about is money...so when we stop spending...they notice

It’s only meaningless if you tell everyone it is actually boycott if you care. We are fighting for our rights. Join us or stay out of the way of true freedom. We don’t have to suffer because the government says so. The time is now to actually do something.

Actually, they are practice for greater resistance. They build solidarity. Next up is a week of no Amazon, Mar. 7 to 14. (Easy for me, who has been boycotting Amazon since they shut down Wikileaks’ online shop in 2011—that was called by D. Ellsberg, and they tried so hard to keep me that I ran!)

My friends: Why are you not buying anything today? Is it a boycot to send a message to greedy corporations?
Me: That and the giant, nightmarish, red bunny told me to.

Gotta crawl before we walk. People will see this was successful. Once we get more people to see & understand the purpose of all this, the more likely they are to join in more lengthy boycotts.

Yep! I browse on Amazon then go to the company directly to purchase. Never hit Walmart or anything on the list. You magically stop buying so much shit you never needed. Take it to the next level here.

This is good, but I saw we need a day where we all refuse to work. That shows our power. One day of not shopping is not going to do anything if everyone buys what they need the next day. Our power comes with our labor!
