Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Amerikkkans be like:
❌ Boycott a company that supports genocide
✅ Boycott a company because their slop costs too much now
Iirc there was a report a while ago stating that the boycott did significantly affect McD's revenue along with Starbucks at least. Wish it was more though, would've loved to see mass branch closures across the world like we've seen in the middle East.
Edit: the impact was less than I thought. The highest figure I've seen after a quick search is a 3.6% reduction in revenue in the US
Though that does at least sound like enough for shareholders to get concerned. Especially if their costs have t gone down accordingly.
I feel like anything 5-15% would be considered effective. With how treat-brained westoids are, 3.6% isn't too bad.
I assume 3.6% of revenue is many millions of dollars, that ain’t nothing
