And I hope people make it an absolute consumer boycott. In typical liberal fashion, some are urging a carve out for small businesses. That defeats the purpose! And thatтАЩs what us liberals are fairly good at; bringing a snuggle blanket to a fight for survival. There will be pain either way; choose passive pain or active resistance pain. In this case, no pain = no gain.
ItтАЩs hard to do a тАЬcarve-outтАЭ for small businesses. There are many small business owners who voted for the current administration and are happy with what is going on. This was brought home for me when Trump was first elected. A very nice lady who owned a local yarn shop told me she couldnтАЩt wait until we had a тАЬrealтАЭ First Lady (Melanie) in the White House! Needless to say I never went in that yarn shop again! I think itтАЩs best to just be simple and NOT shop at all on the 28th.
I agree. I think the voices promoting a small business exemption to the boycott are having a typical knee-jerk тАЬprotect the little guyтАЭ moment, thatтАЩs almost a religious tunnel vision.
Indeed. I hope the Bulwark crew will highlight this the boycott and encourage their readers/listeners to participate.
