If you are in the USA, you might have heard about the organization People’s Union USA calling for a nationwide boycott. They want today to be an economic blackout. This movement follows the rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at several major companies, including Target, PepsiCo and others. (Coca-Cola and Apple have both refused to rollback DEI initiatives.) The boycott coincides with protests against President Dumbass's plans to reduce the government workforce and mass firings at federal agencies. The boycott began at midnight last night and will last for 24 hours. During this time, the organization encourages Americans not to buy anything — this includes gas, fast food, or shopping in-store or online at major retailers. If participants need to buy anything, they are encouraged to shop at local and small businesses. Essential items such as medicine, food and emergency supplies can still be bought.
I hope you’ll join in. The thing about boycotts is that if enough people don’t participate, then it won’t be successful. There had to enough of an economic impact to make a difference and to make the point your trying to make. So, please consider following this boycott and only buy locally today.
On this side of the border, Canada, we have a huge mouvement to boycot American products since your Orange felon president said he would put 50% and more tariffs on our natural resources and products.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, our lumber producers are going to keep all their wood in their warehouse usually sold to USA in time you need to rebuild from all the nartural desasters.
I heard that some in USA are willing to import our eggs as you have a shortage and prices are stagering. Well no eggs should be crossing the border to me. BTW I paid $3,25 a dz of large ones last week.
Same should be done to keep our aluminum, steel, electricity and others to show this 47 crackpot that those tariffs will hurt your economy and Americans will be the ones who will pay the bill.
I think the meeting in the Oval Office today is the most Embarrassing thing, that I ever witnessed of world leaders talking on issues.We are in for a Rocky future. The people of America will to have open their eyes their government.

I also saw live this outrageous White House meeting where Zelensky was bullied by Vance and 47 without any of them wanting to hear what Zelensky wanted to tell them. This doesn't make America great but meen and unrespectful over this man who is doing all to save democracy and his people.
