give up amenities that I've grown accustomed to, if it made a difference. I agree- it's crucial to investigate who to stop doing business with, let alone tricky. I wouldn't want to be causing damage to anyone who is standing up. You make some great points.

Maybe I'll spend my energy, and resources, to find more of who to support rather than who to boycott. (Though if there was an organized boycott I'd look into it thoroughly before I hopped on board). I do think it can drive a point home, when an entity actually feels the effects of a financial hit... being their only bottom line.

Im not rolling in the dough either in life, but I can make wiser choices who I do any business with.

I enjoyed your ramble! Thanks for your time
