ReplyDeleteThe best thing to do is not buy any Tesla vehicles for many days. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteHow extraordinary but an easy thing to do, I don't have a need to buy much these days, got it all and trying to get rid of it now!
ReplyDeleteTo boycott Amazon and Tesla totally would be a great start. I do not use Amazon, nor have, nor will and my life sails along without a hitch. People may do this for a day, but in the way of most boycotts it will probably fizzle out quickly.
ReplyDeleteI think they are suggesting a variation here -- don't patronize American-owned stores like Staples or Best Buy, for example.
ReplyDeleteYes, there's a poster on FaceBook that tells much the same thing. I just think it makes us feel better to see demonstrations and maybe boycott, but I don't think these efforts will really change things. I want to see some real leadership (in the opposition) come along soon!
ReplyDeleteWorth a try!
ReplyDeleteYes I first heard of this on Instragram. I posted about it on FB. I'm all in. I much prefer shopping at my locally family owned stores anyways and I can skip a week of Target. I haven't shopped at Crapmart...er...Walmart since 2004 and refuse to ever do business with them. As for fast food I don't eat it so that's an easy one to skip. Let's send a message!!
ReplyDeleteMy family and I will be doing this Marcia.
