So continue what a lot of us were already doing?

Yeah, like, I canceled Prime nearly a year ago now and just shop elsewhere. I only buy from companies with shitty policies like these if there's no other realistic option (e.g. when something is only available on Amazon :/).

Yeah but it's trendy now and will be for two or maybe even three whole days.

2 or 3 days won't even register on a weekly report if people buy the products that they didn't buy after the 3 days.

Just quit using them altogether. It is inconvenient and it is more expensive but making a stand should have a price. Otherwise it would have been just a sensible decision.

Hey, remember when millions of people didn't buy anything for a single day in protest to show how much power they had and hurt the corporations in the wallets?

Remember the next day when millions of people then bought the stuff they waited a day for.

I don't think companies ever sincerely embraced DEI: it was fashionable to gesture superficially at it to raise share value until it wasn't?

All parking lots with flock surveillance systems should be boycotted, at a minimum.

Be a real shame if you accidentally backed into one of those camera systems and knocked it over, too.

I'm pretty sure Target has been losing money and has even gotten a new CEO, so clearly what we've already been doing has been working. Save yourself money anyway.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

tgt's last quarterly loss (negative net income) was over a decade ago, and it was just one quarter.

[-] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Unless the trend continues, a lot of companies take losses in a quarter where there is a new CEO, so that way they can blame it on the last guy

I'm doing my part! I've boycotted them already for supporting the fascist dictator who threatened my country.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

Let's not buy anything from them even harder!!

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

The ol' ostracize as many customer demographics as possible strategy. Bold, let's see how it works out for em.

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 2 points 2 weeks ago

Love an organized boycott!

[-] TheMilk@lemdro.id 1 points 2 weeks ago

If we stopped spending and went on a "hunger" strike. Don't buy anything for a month. Only buy necessities food for children, the elderly, pets. And simply not buy more than that the corporations would fold over easy. We would add more stress if we stopped going to work at the same time. But what do I know?

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

You say that like people aren't already starting to do that, out of necessity.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

I was boycotting Amazon before boycotting Amazon was cool

[-] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago
