This part. I haven't been to Target, Walmart, Starbucks or ordered anything on Amazon. I love the Target is feeling the pain. They thought they were hurting when Christians complained over their LGBT merch. They didn't see anything like the current boycott. Their stock is DOWN and Costco is UP!

Are you the old white guy who was asking the Girl Scouts if their cookies are made in China in front of Safeway yesterday? You really need to get off the internet. You’re not smart enough to use it responsibly.

We need to be on the streets protesting Trump's efforts to take over the military. Not pretending that avoiding Amazon for 24 hours does anything, literally anything at all.

The commander in chief is trying to take over the military! The nerve of that guy.

Are you ignorant, or an enemy of America?

This reminds me of the time a few years ago when lefties tried to put together a nationwide boycott of Chick Fil-A and the drive thru lines were really long that weekend.

Yes! Exactly!

And yet- it worked.

Proud fascist, eh? We beat you in WWII and we’ll beat you again.

Hope there's a Tesla in one of them. Tesla would be the perfect waste of cash purchase for you.

No thanks! I have always been anti EV!

Do you really think neither of you is capable of obtaining a job? Did you expect a lifetime sinecure?

DP. What exactly are you arguing here?

Another DP: I saw the comment about the two Feds and wondered the same thing. I am a Fed and had an intuition that Trump would win and go after Feds with Project 2025. I am a secure GS-15 but began to put out feelers for jobs even before the inauguration. I am very employable it seems, and I wonder why the Feds who are concerned about losing jobs are doing the same thing. At all of the jobs I will make more money with better perks

That's easy for you as a GS-15 since it is assumed you are in a management position probably in the DMV.

I am more concerned with the GS workers in the hinterlands who are in rank-and-file jobs that don't easily translate into private sector. For example, the recently promoted/probationary Social Security office clerk (from GS-7 to GS-9) who knows the intake process like the back of their hand and can assist the elderly and disabled with issues.

That person is NOT going to find it easy to get another job comparable to what they do as a GS-9 AND the community is losing a real Federal asset that is helping people.

So you’re going to wait until 2028 to buy paper towels? Wow, you are hardcore. There might be a role at DOGE for you.
