Better than a one day boycott, do this...

Trump and Musk are likely to break things. It may intentional targeting of a program like Medicaid or SNAP. It may be an accidental bug introduced into something larger, such as social security or Medicare. It may be elsewhere. It may be a combination of things. Some people will be affected directly. Some, indirectly.

The certain way to prepare is to spend less and save more. If many people do that, it has more visibility than a one day boycott, because businesses and economists generally measure things by the month or quarter.

If I'm wrong, and nothing breaks, the worse that happens taking this route is that you end up with a better future kitty. I know not all can follow such advice. For those who can, now is the time.
