I boycott! Oddly enough I just ended a ~15 year Walmart boycott for our family. Began it after becoming aware of their tactics to deliberately strangle local businesses and keep employees below full-time hours to avoid giving them benefits, etc.

Been avoiding them out of habit for so long...started boycotting Amazon, Target, etc. recently...and realized that while I have nothing positive to say about Walmart, they're not even cracking the list of shittiest companies anymore. Because every fucking one else sunk below their standards.

Cool stuff! Boycott shit, people, help out! Most of y'all need the money way more than the stuff these days anyway lol!

This is.
