    and more.

    You’ll probably find a shorter list of those who have not supported Trump.

    And an even shorter list of those who are openly defiant of Trump.

    I love how Johnson & Johnson is listed down in other donors as someone to boycott as if that’s an easy task. They own like half the fucking grocery store 🥲

    Looks like one enthusiastic supporter and a bunch of kiss-the-ring folks wearing the corporate approved minimum pieces of flair.

    Don’t just boycott. Actively do things that cost them money.

    If I have $100 to spend, steering that away from them only loses them $100 or so. But if you actively interfere with their income streams, you’re not actually limited to the amount of your own spending power.

    Report them for fines and penalties. Poison the data they collect on the world. Take advantage of the costly perks they offer (e.g., 100% return policies on open box items), clog up their customer support lines, exercise your consumer rights to your data or data deletion, target their loss leaders to cut into their profits, etc.

        Don’t sign up anywhere. Just do. The lack of coordination makes it harder to counter, at least not without other collateral damage to legitimate customers and the like.

    Wouldn’t catch me even being a passenger in a modern spy car.

    I can’t stand Microsoft products.

      KUDOS. But these hard choices need to be shared with the many people who do not believe it is possible.

    Obviously? Ever had a president that is basically a sell out? Its the most juiciest president and administration for a capitalist. Donate like 1 mill make 10+ billion.

    Starlink (not listed but is a musk company) is supporting cell service to a large portion of cellular companies in the U.s including T-Mobile and it’s affiliates.

    It’s hard to be a conscientious consumer when broke.

    Tmobile has cheap cell service. Are the alternatives even better? Idk if they use starlink too.

        Do we need cellular services?

        Yes.

        Just from a safety perspective, a transportable communication device is very useful.

          We got along just fine without them before they existed. One generation in, and now they’re “indispensable”.

            We also survived many many years without modern medicine. But that doesn’t mean we don’t need those things.

    The hardest part about boycotting is finding a company that I’m currently giving money to. These companies haven’t made anything worth buying in a decade.

    any time you use $USD you are helping Nazis

    the best thing to do is limit spending as much as possible

      The problem is that inflation is still kind of high, so if you don’t spend it, it’s losing 3.4% of its value each year.

      Unless you can convince your employer to pay you in Euros, Bitcoin, gold, or silver, you either have to spend USD or sacrifice 3.4% of its value every year.

    Americans are too lazy to accept being inconvenienced in any way and it’s gotten to the point where any change at all is inconvenient. It sucks here.
