It’s really easy to not shop at any of the major big box stores owned by USA megacorps, physical or digital.
The trouble is, everyone around me is either on-board with the administration or a left-wing coward. I can’t believe people actually think a single day of non-spending is going to do anything, and part of me thinks it’s the corps pushing that idea as well.
