Consumer boycott. That’s what we all need to do. I started on Inauguration Day. It may have to escalate to a national strike. I’ve cut all discretionary spending. There will be pain either way; might as well feel pain in service to a higher good.

I agree too. I have also cut spending and only shop at Costco, a couple of non-corporate local grocers, and a couple of local independent shops.

Yes, I like Costco too, because they treat their employees well, and their CEO makes a relatively modest salary compared to others. I’m still trying to keep my purchases limited to essentials though. My goal isn’t to hurt Costco, but to hurt the whole economic picture, which is largely consumer driven. Trump measures his performance by the stock market, so that’s where he needs to be hit. Just this year I had to start taking withdrawals from my IRA, so if the market tanks I will feel it. There will be pain regardless, so I prefer to go down fighting however I can. Thank you for engaging! This seems to be spreading!

I'm pretty lean all the time (I'm making a fence from trees harvested behind my house) but I will try and convince my son who seems addicted to Amazon
