Since it seems that Walmart and other mega corporations support Trump, why don't you have a day where you boycott one business. Like on x day nobody goes to Walmart or whatever. People can do it with no effort, so many more could join in. Let these companies see how they rely on PEOPLE for success. Just a thought

I love the idea of boycotting spending for a week or more, it would impact the corporations overcome with profit greed and make them take notice.

If we had a national strike, with enough participants, I imagine it could have a similar impact like COVID and the supply chain problems. Though the opposite, supply with reduced demand, therefore profits.

A one day boycott is meaningless to companies of that size. You would need a massive, long term boycott with specific demands of these businesses.

And it would have to be more than just one person. A month long general strike is what we need.

You're not wrong, but a war chest to support strikers is a crucial first step.

Ive been boycotting them for years. Walmart and others. It really wasn't that hard to see that they were fucking us over for profits.
