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
