Call me when the Teamsters authorize it
Are we doing that whole confusing “I declare a general strike” thing again?
Yeah exactly, spend that saved money one day later, i’m sure it will hurt the ruling class
Not spending on one day sends a message and that is the point, not to hurt them. You wanna hurt them? Don’t spend for a week. If covid shutdowns taught us anything its that disrupting capitalism for a week absolutely hurts them.
I’m for protesting… I’m just getting confused when… I saw dates on March and February… When are we protesting lol
Nobody has any idea and everyone is scrambling to organize but without any actual organization.
I don’t know… and I don’t buy stuff most days, already…
Haha, jokes on them! I don’t buy anything on most days!
Also share the message that the point is to punish the retailer. Don’t double up on purchases before or after the boycott day. Doubling up will cancel out the boycott day.
Sad that this has to be said
I don’t think it’s sad; some people really do need help understanding this. Protesting an oligarchy is new for most of us. You’ve just provided helpful information to people who can participate in this, especially those who can ONLY participate in this for one reason or another
I hope more people see this. I’ll get gas the day before but don’t do much otherwise.
If money is speech, we have a right to remain silent.
The bank when you stop spending the money (you’ve lent it to them now):
Edit: Replaced “borrowed” with “lent”
First of all, fuck banks, my Credit Union is owned cooperatively by its members
Second, my emergency fund is stashed physically at a secure location and no bank needs to know it exists until the moment I’ve used it.
I feel like I missed a trick. What’s going on?

America is a whole shit show so we are trying to make the economy suffer big for a day so that the government might suck less
Good luck and may all the power be on your side
You guys are buying stuff?
My grocery day is saturday and the 28th is a Friday so easy? I don’t understand how a single day is meant to accomplish anything, most people don’t buy something every single day.
Most people don’t buy something everyday, but billions of dollars worth of stuff is bought everyday.
I do grocery shopping almost every day since I live a block from a store. I just get food for the day. So skipping one day is like they won’t get what, $10-20 from me? I don’t see how that will make any kind of impact either unfortunately. Really needs to be longer than a day. I’ll still do it because one day isn’t going to affect me at all so might as well, maybe I’m wrong and something will come of it
How about March? Yeah the entire. Month. Just to make a point.
But that would be inconvenient. I’d rather just do my shopping a day early and not be impacted.
We’re in, my family & I! Have it posted to my profile! Spread the word!🍁
i’ll do you one better: everyone find at least one thing to either stop buying forever or aquire from a better source, make the strike permanent and sustainable.
The essence of “vote with your wallet.”
One day is going to do exactly nothing. A year of shrinking revenue, though…
