The national boycott story will be burried today

[edhopper]

under the insanity of the Trump Zelensky meeting.
Let's do it again next month, and every month after that!

1. Just told my friend the same thing.

[Clouds Passing]

2. Every Tuesday is also a shopping blackout day.

3. Another one set for 4/18 & others against specific

Blood sucking multinationals in between!

Someone posted a schedule.

[allegorical oracle]

4. Yep. Not only the boycott, but also wondered what mischief the muskrat was up to that

went unreported.

5. Any news

Out of SCROTUS ?
😐

6. Maybe it gets buried because it really didn't amount to much.

It's a big country and a successful boycott needs to be focused and local and this boycott was neither, but was really meant for people to feel better and not helpless.

7. Five posts in the last twenty minutes about how it was "ineffective"

Including one from a guy still searching for his "disappeared gardener" that somehow manages to work in Che Guevara?

Here we are, anyway.

8. It was aired on CBS.

Will we ever know what the financial impact is?

9. Okay, this is what I was sent

3/7-14 amazon
3/21-28 nestle
4/7-14 walmart
4/18 all retail
4/21-28 general mills

10. I really think everyone should boycott Target

all the time.

They aren't :too big to fail and you can buy their stuff in many other places. If they go under, then others will notice.

11. It will, but that almost doesn't matter.

By not buying today, we wanted to show them we could make a difference in their bottom line.

Our success comes when they look at the proceeds from today and see a big dip. They'll definitely notice that.

Anecdotally from DUers observations, today was business as usual in deep red areas, but in other places it seems like very few people were shopping. That will definitely show up as a scary moment for them on their balance sheets and trend lines.

I think it sounds like today was pretty successful.

12. Why wait? The leverage and power of the consumer dollar can be used 24/7-365.

13. Maybe make it a week

and publicize the hell out of it. It's too easy to skip a day and buy or buy something a day before. Not sure we are really affecting the bottom line with just a day.
