I won’t be buying from those stores at all this season. I’ve avoided Target since they lost their moral compass. I’ve avoided Home Depot since 2016 election and I cancelled Amazon prime. I’m done with stores that support the felon and not democracy

Cancelled Amazon. About to cancel Spotify. Joined a farmer's food co-op. Use the NO THANKS app. Bought all presents from small shops.

Spotify was the most difficult for me personally. Thanks for the NO THANKS app recommendation!

It's overpriced with limited selection anyways, easy to avoid!

Whether you can shop local or have no other options in your area beyond things like Target and Walmart, still pay attention and try to research the companies that make the products you need to buy (cereal, toilet paper, whatever) so you can direct as much of your purchases to ethical companies that align with your beliefs

I happen to work at the Orange Big Box store... I took this week off. That means my labor did not assist in helping them setup for or rake in money for Black Friday!!! I also boycotted Amazon & Target. Starve the Oligarchy!!! Next week I get to support our democracy by serving jury duty!!!

Haven't bought a thing since last Monday. We are doing the full Black Out the System Second Wave through tomorrow and re-thinking all our consumption "habits" throughout the process. Wednesday will be interesting, to say the least. 😀😀

I have only used Amazon once in the last year to buy Fuller Brush house cleaner. It is the only place I can find the product. I stopped going to Target years ago and have never been to Home Depot. We cancelled Prime months ago.

This is huge, thank you! And this is also a great product review/advertisement for Fuller Brush house cleaner 😂

🤭Full Crystal is the product made by Fuller Brush. It works very well and is safe to use around plants.

Economic boycott isn't new. Some of us have been doing it for a long time. Once you are aware of the overselling of the notion you "need" so much stuff and the corrupt corporations operations, it follows you then are more selective how you spend your money. I've had a s#@t list of companies whose products I don't buy. It's not easy with so much merging of corporations to determine which company makes what anymore but checking sources is worth the effort. Move fast and break things also isn't new. Post WW2 began the rapid expansion producing a broad middle class. A good thing in many ways. But as with good things there's a down side to consider as well. Nothing is perfect, remember that. We advanced, we prospered, we relaxed, and we allowed ourselves the luxury to think we need not concern ourselves with any possible threat to ourselves. Wrong. With comfort comes complacency. Now we pay the price for allowing corporate greed to grind us to submit to their insatiable pursuit of inslavement to their actions. So by all means, do make economic boycott part of your plan to deactivate the greed devouring our country. It's never too late to defend our freedoms and we must never give up defending them.

I am boycotting Amazon, Target, and Home Depot permanently. I’m shopping at Costco and local small businesses.

Haven't shopped at Amazon, Home Depot or Target since the election that put the felon in office. Also stay out of Publix and instead shop at local markets and organic sellers.
