    I really wish Uline wasn’t in this group. It’s so damned useful. Now I need to find multiple suppliers instead.

      Uline sends out these really fat catalogues to businesses that might use their stuff. I have never ordered a single thing from them, because their shit is expensive, and I can buy it far cheaper almost anywhere. Despite NEVER ordering anything, they have been shipping me heavy catalogues for years. They have lost a small fortune on me.

      Every person in America should order a Uline catalogue and throw it out, use it to roll joints, or put it in the outhouse for toilet paper. Eat up as much of their profit on wasted catalogues and postage as possible.

    This needs to go way beyond Amazon. They’re a part of the problem for sure, but AFAIK they’re a symbol of what’s wrong with our economic and political system. The real enemies are the ones that are helping to prop up those in DC. You don’t need to knock the King off the hill. Dig a tunnel underneath his hill and it will collapse.

    Denying money to these cunts is pretty much the easiest way to make a real difference. Billionaires don’t care about your well crafted online post, nor a peaceful protest. Since citizens united, it’s the only leverage you have now. Sorry your personal ego is driven by your blind loyalty to the corporation.

    Great, but the author of the post, Mark C Eades is making this into a series where he calls our companies one by one instead of just compiling and publishing a complete list. Even our pushback against the oligarchy is being monetized. Good job Mark, but at the same time-- try to be a bit more professional and true to the actual cause, Mark.

        Too much.

        I strongly disagree, and its a weird point you’re making. People dont have enough focus to absorb and focus on a list over time. No one is going to read 20 weeks of posts to get to a 20 item list. People can read and absorb lists. And they get frustrated when their time is wasted with shenanigans designed to make a person some cash on the side. When the author draws peoples eyes to this he is spending a limited resource, and they should do it judiciously. So are you the author then? Or perhaps a right winger who is against this boycott?

      That’s a thought terminating cliche that doesn’t actually help anything or progress the conversation.

        It does progress the conversation, limited targeting of companies based on their political contributions is playing wack a mole. It’s like Republicans boycotting Bud light because of advertising with Dylan Mulvaney by buying another beer also made by Ambev.

          Uhh…the boycott worked extremely well and AB InBev quickly distanced themselves from Dylan Mulvaney.

          I’m beginning to suspect you don’t actually understand of what you’re talking about beyond a few catchy slogans you picked up in the student center.

      So never even try to do anything? Absolutely not

      Don’t spread defeatism for them

      Organized boycotts can work

        Who said anything about not trying anything? Do you target companies that helped fund P2025 politicians and support those that gave money to holocaust deniers like Biden/Harris.

      thats problematic because I cant just absorb my nutrition from the sun, so I am stuck consuming all kinds of things.

      Also, boycotts are a thing we can all do now, so why try to shoot that down?
