Don't call them spending boycotts, call them consumer sanctions. I am issuing effective immediately consumer sanctions
against the fascist government of the United States. All my consumer spending outside of necessities will come to a screeching halt. Credit card usage will be reduced by 98%. These sanctions will remain in effect until further notice.
Just a reminder; do not underestimate the power and leverage of your consumer dollar and how you spend it. Money flow to the workers, us, trickles down. Money flow to the rich, corps, banks, etc, flows up. Those at the top rely on us to keep the spending up. We may not have the votes but, we have consumer dollars that they want badly. One of the best ways to make criminal organizations start to fidget, whine and get irritated is to mess with their money supply.
I encourage other consumers to draft and issue their own consumer sanctions. No sanction is too small for this fight. Draft your sanctions around your own personal economy and budget needs.
consumer sanctions + street protest = a louder voice.
They can't call sanctions riots, take your picture, beat you, shoot you, arrest you.
This weekend would be a good time to keep your wallets and pocket books shut. Let MAGA dollars float the economy this July 4th.
Don't call them boycotts, call them consumer sanctions.
P.S. Boycotts are stupid, protest don't work in ...5..4..3..2....
