interesting to see people realizing the age old truth that the best way to express your dissatisfaction with a particular situation or idea is to vote with your purchasing power

💰money talks louder than words 💰

Don't like the way a baker discriminates

-organize a boycott against his bread

Dislike slave labor

-don't buy from slave owners

Don't like smoke in your restaurant

-dine in places with no smoking

Boycotts are the ultimate peaceful protest and are more effective than violence or voting or lobbying for a law

Also, a boycott is private by default -- it is impossible to prove a negative so your lack of purchasing is by definition participation

It seems like these days, with publicly traded companies and ESG goals, companies don’t care if customers boycott them or not. Examples: Disney, Target, Bud Light.
