Who are you boycotting?

[Hessian]

There is a cost to "virtue signalling"...that some major corporations never thought they would have to pay. Bud Light has sent a shockwave through some of the financial advisors bulletins as they steer clients away from poor returns. GOOD. Angry consumers now want to see more than just declining stock prices,...and new attempts to bring back consumers...WE want to see firings in the marketing department, apologies...and if not,...closures of their distribution networks due to lost sales.
I would cheer to hear Target is considering closing stores....and some international markets refusing to carry their products.
Go Woke...Go Broke.

St. Inie's coffee on Willows, their residence's front yard is way to DNCish when I drive by during the election cycle.

Nope, don't go to St Innies either.

I am not watching NASCAR any longer because it is no longer a stock car race.
At one time it had to be a car that was built by a manufacturer and had safety bars and features added.

Now the thing is built by hand and each one has to be exactly like NASCAR orders. If it goes faster then the rest they find out why and restrict it so it no longer is faster then the rest. What is a race that has a couple of piss breaks, and racing is not supposed to be a team sport. Rich kids playing in toy cars.

What about Lesbians IN Ukraine? What color Ribbon do they get?

I don't patronize any of the listed businesses, so I selected all of them. Dick's is the only one I can honestly say that it's because of their woke BS in regards to guns. I used to drop in from time to time for a fishing lure or 2, but now I find somewhere else to buy my trinkets.

I'm a lot like you. I don't visit any of these stores and it's by choice. I also don't frequent any of the fast food places that require you to use an app to get a discount of some sort. Hell, I don't even know what I want from the FF place until I get in there. I don't know the menus to Slim Chickens, Checkers (anymore), McDonalds has me irked because of the stupid kiosk, and Taco Bell lost me long ago. The one good thing is I'm eating far less fast food. Win-win.

I don't patronize any of the above enough, some never at all, that they would notice if I boycotted.

^This^

Most of these hard left socially retarded corps, I'm not their customer/audience anyway. I have an aversion to Disney now that I didn't have before, but that began after pretty much all their park character cast members got busted for kiddie porn a few years ago. Them being more blatant about their corporate pedophilia shouldn't surprise anyone.

Be obnoxious and predatory, and I will start associating your product with that and avoid it. Really it's that simple.

So Liberals/Apathetic who feel boycotts are "Economic terrorism" or totally useless....you know the NAACP used boycotts back in the 1910's to protest 'Birth of a Nation' (you know...the film Democrat Wilson showed in the Whitehouse & praised...that one)...and MLK Jr effectively used the bus boycott to cripple Montgomery Alabama's discriminatory policies.
The boycotts against Rush were generally ineffective and actually led to an INCREASE in market awareness in some cases. oops.
This form of passive resistance has a vital place in our society and should be used as a tool to empower consumers.
Socialist & communist nations have so little product to use as a tool...that only strikes get their attention (ie Gdansk). (and violence is often not far away)
I would prefer boycotts to escalation...however, the Boston Tea party has a dear place in my heart and would NOT object to that approach.

Democrats love boycotts when it's their side doing it. If you boycott their crap they whine and cry like infants.

I believe they had to have a minimal production run of the vehicle, something like 500 units?

, McDonalds has me irked because of the stupid kiosk,

Main reason I only use drive through - I have no idea what I want, and their kiosk takes so long to make a simple order.

When we designed user interfaces, we got non computer using volunteers to try them - because when programmers used them, they already knew what they wanted or expected. Lots of thing surprised us.

I have no problem with Wawa's screen, but I cant figure out Mickey D's.

They need to run with the original specs. Add 100 gallons of moonshine to the truck.

Hated Target and Starbucks anyway so I guess I boycotted them for 20 or 30 years.

 

[GURPS]

I'm boycotting B&J's because I'm fat, Starbucks because I don't like their coffee, Disney because I'm not twelve, Nike because once again I'm fat, Budweiser because I quit drinking. Professional sports I'm actually boycotting, football in particular, just because of changing the rules all of the time.

What's ESG?

Environmental, social and corporate governance


Environmental, social, and corporate governance is an approach to evaluating the extent to which a corporation works on behalf of social goals that go beyond the role of a corporation to maximize profits on behalf of the corporation's shareholders.

BTW... isn't boycotting sexist? or misgendered? or something? Has to be. Everything else normal is now not normal.

No one has mentioned boycotting Chic-fil-a. I heard from a customer this morning who is because apparently they have gone woke. I wasn’t aware of this.

Chick-fil-A sparks anti-woke outrage for VP of diversity, equity, inclusion post

Corporate America’s embrace of DEI, which seeks to diversify workforces, has been criticized by conservatives who claim that it is discriminatory based on race and gender.

And here I thought they were all anti-gay because of something the owner said or did - or were anti whatever because they let people go to church on Sunday?

THIS is why boycotts are often - stupid. A year ago, you were supposed to SUPPORT them because the left was trying to shut them down - now you're supposed to be AGAINST them because they're all woke.

This is dumb.

Man, you people are going to be exhausted keeping up with all the boycotting in which you must take part.
