As an American I implore you to start.
People are telling me to boycott Tesla and I'm over here like "I wasn't about to buy a $65k vehicle spontaneously but I guess won't now anyways."
My broke ass:
I won’t buy a Tesla this year. In fact, I won’t buy TEN Teslas.
When I was looking for a new vehicle last year, I had already crossed Tesla off the list because I think they're butt ugly, and I need buttons to at least operate the climate control. And I'm really glad I did.
I already skipped two/three products yesterday, one only after scanning it deliberately to find out whether I should avoid it.
Skipped products: Milka spread (Mondelez) and Schweppes. Bought European instead.
