I cancelled everything. Amazon, Walmart, Netflix, ect… I have a costco account and I shop local when I can. Learn to sew and fix your clothes. Maintain an older car instead of buying new. Vote with your wallet. The only power we have is our money.
There is another power we have, but it requires organization. Voting with your feet. Walkouts, strikes.
Seeing a nationwide general strike is extremely unlikely, but my god it would be magical to see.
Please if you have the opportunity to start buying from small businesses. It may be a bit more inconvenient and probably a bit more expensive but it is a great way to help out your neighbor.
Additionally the money you spend locally usually stays local and not go to a CEO or Chairman of the board that really doesn’t need another vacation home in Italy or Aspen.
Goods Unite Us is a free app that tells you which political party companies donate to
I tried this out by searching for Amazon, and if this website was all you knew, you’d come away thinking it was a rather left leaning company, with a donation distribution of 68% Democrat and 32% Republican. That may or may not be true, but it ignores all of the hostile working conditions and anti-union behavior they are responsible for.
Just saying, don’t rely solely on this app for evaluating companies.
I prefer the no thanks app
The things that matter in this country have been reduced in choice, there are two political parties, there are a handful insurance companies, there are six or seven information centers… but if you want a bagel there are 23 flavors. Because you have the illusion of choice!

Dumped Amazon in November for Costco or local retailers. We are saving literally hundreds a month for slightly less convenience. Wish we had done it years ago. Highly recommended.
Yeah, Costco is great. One of the few places I don’t feel bad shopping at here in a red state.
Soon enough Leon is gonna start suing people for not buying his cars, for political reasons or otherwise
I suspect the fedral government will just buy more unsold Teslas
Oh boy Tesla cop cars 👐
Tesla firetrucks bring the fires to the houses
Hello citizen! It’s time for your annual physical, please relax your anus while your physician installs this years Tesla Chess Tracker™ and calibrates it to remove left leaning thoughts. You may feel some discomfort in your intestines however it is normal while focusing on un-American thoughts like empathy or critical thinking. To disengage please reduce thoughts to a minimum level and remember to not vote again! Thank you, please remember to tip your doctor 20% on top of your medical bill you will receive 4-7 months from now after you’ve completely forgotten this mandatory annual appointment.
Yep. Dropped amazon for their support of the orange waste of space
Honestly, I don’t want to buy anything at all anymore because I don’t know which of the lot voted for Trump
Tesla swasticar sales 📉🔥
i wish i had the luxury of choice. being in a small town, away from everything. i can choose walmart, dollar store (bad choice, period. prices are high on stuff you actually want or need), or a local (pay our exorbitant prices because we aren’t walmart) grocery. everything else is an hour or two away.
Even worse is when you try to “support local” and discover that, sure, the local hardware store sponsors the town’s little league team, but the owner also reposts racist memes on his personal social media page. You can’t win.
pretty much how it is here, too. both hardware stores owned by maga nuts.
I mean, even in the cities you’re lucky to have a choice of three different corporate grocery stores that underpay their workers to choose from. Costco is alright but, from a non-member perspective, I don’t think it’s practical to make that your only source of groceries.
if i was in a city, it would probably be costco, aldi, and co-ops/farmers markets for everything.
The other options in small towns/wannabe cities are “boutique” shops where Karen charges $120 for a plain white t-shirt with a hole in it.
You can order stuff online, including groceries. Dry and canned goods are available online from a lot of retailers. Meal kits are surprisingly economical if you rotate through them like streaming channels, and use a promo code.
I put the distilled and brewed booze(alcohol), from the red states, back on the shelf. Yeah, I read the labels or find out where stuff is produced.
Ideally also don’t take vacations in red states.
That’s a very large amount. I’m impressed.
I’m degoogled, deappled, no more amazon. There’s a website and boycott app to tell you which companies to dump and also buy nothing days.
This has been good for me overall because I looked into ethical consumerism and feel a lot better about how I spend. I used to do this stuff years back but I’d gotten lazy.
What are these apps and websites? Really struggling to dump Amazon…
Ebay and buying direct is working for me. Their streaming service is shit so thatvwas an easy one for me
Yeah! Also WHAT FUCKING MONEY DO YOU THINK THEY CAN SPEND?
