What businesses do you

[samplegirl]

no longer use?

Besides dozens of restaurants that are Republican establishments that I refuse to give my money to…
I’ve never been a Walmart person
Home Depot person.
Trying to shop only at Democratic establishments is hard these days.
Doing online shopping.
Was in this one local shop who sold all sorts of pro Republican stuff. Needless to say I exited quite quickly!

1. Currently Kellogg's

Until they have the contract with their workers.

I’m sure that there are others, but I would have to think about it a bit.

2. Honestly there are too many to keep up with

[Dial H For Hero]

3. I've don't boycott any businesses.

[Archae]

6. I don't either.

There are some that I won't use for obvious reasons, like their stuff being too damn expensive.
And/or useless.

"My Pillow"
Regnery Books.

But to keep up with the "Boycott of the week," I'd need multi-terabyte computers.

4. I shop where I can get the product I want at a price I'm willing to pay.

I’m more concerned with the welfare of a businesses’ employees than the political views of the owner.

5. Chick-fil-a and Hobby Lobby. nt

7. I won't shop either!

8. Never, ever Hobby Lobby

[Greybnk48]

14. We avoid these two and Home Depot, Menards,

BP, Hardees, Papa John's (don't care if he's "gone&quot , Jimmy John's, CVS, Nestle whenever possible, and all the Koch Bros. products like Vanity Fair napkins, etc., just to name a few.

It's exhausting, but it feels good to do it.

[Zeitghost]

9. There are a few

But it's because I don't find value in their service or product.

Boycotting over political issues is silly. When you break up every dollar you spend at a store between the employees, vendors, suppliers, stockholders, etc, you are just as likely to be taking money out of a liberals pocket as you are a conservative.

Give me something I want at a fair price with decent service and I'll come back.

10. The only thing I actively boycott..

is Goya products. Truth be told, I rarely bought them to begin with. I don’t eat fast food. I was in a Hobby Lobby once, years ago, before I knew anything about their politics, and it was the weirdest, most useless craft store I’ve ever been in. Most businesses we talk about boycotting are places I have never shopped or already wouldn’t return to.

11. Goya is actually a good brand, I really hated to stop buying it

There are other brands that are also good which I now get, but it was convenient that the Goya was always all together. And they had an occasional newsletter that emailed out good recipes.

16. In the stores where I shop..

Goya is in the international foods section, which is after the section where dried and canned beans and such are. Unless the store was out of something Goya makes, there was a real good chance I had found a similar product in another aisle and crossed it off my list before I got to the Goya display.

12. Walmart, for many reasons, since the 90's. Also

Goya, Hobby Lobby & Chic Fila. I avoid fast food, and national chains in general. I will always go to a local restaurant or shop when possible.

Most of what I get from Amazon are things like ink cartridges that I would be getting from a national chain anyway, so might as well have it delivered.

I also won't stay in any place that has the Fox "news" Sewer playing on a public tv.

[Xavier Breath]

13. Blockbuster. They are soooo living in the past.

Seriously, as someone else pointed out, I shop where I can find what I need at a price I'm willing to pay. It's too much work trying to keep track of who I'm supposed to be boycotting.

15. My wife and I quit traditional television more than ten years ago.

No broadcast, cable, or satellite television. The best thing about that is we never see television commercials. Mostly we stream Netflix and watch DVDs. Netflix is $8.99 a month.

We avoid factory farm meat, especially pork. I'm mostly vegetarian and my wife is vegetarian approaching vegan.

All the dogs we've adopted come from the animal shelter. There's no reason to breed dogs when so many are abandoned. But I will confess, some of our dogs have been difficult, having suffered severe trauma before we adopted them.

I bought a new car once when I was young, single, and full of myself. I won't do that again. Our children learned to drive in that car, which was older than they were, and drove it regularly in college. That may have been the ultimate cause of the car's demise. The engine just wore out and I didn't want to rebuild it so I gave it away. I replaced it with a $900 car.

When my wife and I met we were both commuters, suffering daily 15 mph stop-and-go freeway traffic. Since then we've mostly been able to avoid the automobile commuter lifestyle.

I grew up in a place that was 99% white and kept that way by unethical and sometimes illegal means. Police harassment of non-white people was common, real estate people were cold towards non-white people, etc..

Leaving that place was one of the better decisions I've made in my life. My wife and I very deliberately chose not to raise our children in places like that.

My major "save the world" effort is to promote realistic sex education and easy access to free birth control.

If anything will get us out of the mess we humans have made of this planet it will be the political and economic empowerment of women.
