I get the boycotts for Target, Walmart, and Amazon for rolling back their DEI programs and bowing to Trump. What companies are treating employees fair or standing up for human decency? Seems like Costco gets brought up?

Most things I need I can get from my local grocery store which seems pretty non evil but where do you go if you need like a new keyboard?

If its publicly traded, you can bet it sucks.

If it's not publicly traded it can actually be worse, too. Like the other poster said, you need some kind of actual strategy to make a boycott worthwhile.

It could, didn't say it couldn't, my point is that when its publicly traded it's guaranteed to be bad since the company now serves stockholders.
