A reminder, we have yet to put our full force and might behind a spending boycott. It should be making news by now.

I repeat myself.
Do not underestimate the power and leverage of you consumer dollars. Votes only have power every 2-4 yrs.. Consumer dollars have power 24/7-365. Those at the top suck up our consumers dollars fast and swift, they have bills to pay also. Stop giving them any more of your money than you have.

Repugs had a Bud Light boycott and it made the news and made Budweiser bow down to them. A boycott worked for the repugs, it can work for us.
All it takes is participation. And can be done from the comfort of your couch. It's simple and can be a powerful tool.

Yes the economy is forcing us cut back but, I suspect that there are many (millions) that could cut out an extra $25.00 a week That's $3.00 and change a day, a weeks worth of Starbucks on the way to work.

Pay yourself (save) $25.00 a week not to spend. And let MAGA float the economy.

Be well, be safe.
