[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I admit I was wrong about Target. I never thought there would be enough boycotters to impact their bottom line.

I don't use Target, so I probably misread the type of consumers who shop there.[/quote]

They spent years cultivating a diverse queen friendly liberal leaning customer based, then flipped us all the bird when Trump got elected. The real lesson here is to know your customers, pick a lane, and don't flip flop.

I know what I'm getting and what I'm supporting on the rare occasion I shop at Walmart. Target pretended to be better, and it was supposed to be justification for the higher prices for essentially the same products. If they're basically going to be Walmart but with higher prices, I have no reason to shop there. Haven't been since the DEI rollback, and it would take a lot to get me back in the doors.

[b]I'm having a much harder time quitting Amazon[/b],  but I'm getting there. Once I find adequate replacements for everything, I won't be back. And I'm sure the same is true for many. Once the boycotts go on long enough that people have altered their shopping habits, it won't be a simple thing to get them to return as customers. [/quote]

Amazon is a monopoly, and we consumers need to break it.
Do it a step at a time: 
Go to your account, and cancel the automatic renewal of Amazon Prime. You have to click around because they make it hard to cancel.
It won't cancel immediately though. They only let you cancel on your renewal date.
Then slowly wean yourself from Amazon.

I look at the reviews on Amazon, then I google the product and find it in a local store or on the mfr's website. Sometimes I have to pay shipping. Oh well, it's a small price to pay to save our democracy.

If everyone who cares about America's future just QUIT Amazon, Jeff B. would lose his power. We gave it to him, and we can take it away.

Ditto for Tesla (sell yours if you own one!) and Zuckerberg's businesses like FB, Instagram.

Google the oligarchs' businesses -- they include Abe Books and Zappos! I'm doing my best to boycott them all.

We, the little people, do have economic power if we will just use it!! [/quote]
