Would post my town's schedule, but dox-worthy.
Anyway, it's looking like every other week from now, starting tomorrow on "NOT my president's day" (lmao), we are allegedly coming together as a community to not buy anything unless it's a necessity, such as gas. I'm wondering if this is going to just be the BLM protests but with fewer thrown broken bottles in the streets?
Anyone else notice this trendy trend?

Do people really buy things every day?
I know some of my more outspoken extremely left friends have mentioned cancelling their prime subs and asking around for locally and/or "queer women" produced products, but otherwise haven't seen large community events for it.

my friends are so surprised when I tell them I don't pay for a prime membership
I do too bb, it's still free shipping as long as you're buying over $35 of shit, just leave shit in your cart until you're over the threshold and then enjoy the free shipping
people literally pay like $150/yr or whatever for this while struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, thinking it's some kind of critical necessity.

I have only used prime when it was free in college, and even then, I didn't have time for the tack-on streaming stuff. I needed books bruh

When I got prime the membership was all inclusive and they only gave a discount for college students, butt if you didnt cancel the discount would stay. They made the discount less after lile 10 yrs, butt I still only pay 119/yr with streaming.

I guess when my student email was deactivated, that's when I lost service? It has been a few years

Yeah, they eventually emailed me and basically said that i need to prove im still in school to get the discount even tho i still had my .edu email on the account. They said if i couldnt i could still maintian some discount in perpetuity so long as i didnt cancel.

Darn, I fumbled hard then
I had transferred schools to wrap-up, I probably should've bothered shuffling the service, but it would've only been a year difference...

My r-slurred country thinks grocery prices are high because of 'store greed' so they did some no shopping on weekend thing lol
Not a single word about the thousands of rich russians and ukrainians that infested our country recently, no. The prices are surging because of 'greed'
First 2 years of lockowns, then min wage increase, now rich immigrants.
Let's protest grocery stores
If the stores were really that greedy, anyone could make a competing store and shut them all down. Or heck, an existing store could lower their prices a bit and grab everyone.
But no, they believe there's a fricking toothpaste cartel controlling prices through the country..

I think "let's protest grocery stores" took the form of CA gov Newsome legalizing certain theft amounts or whatever... he's a dark king to live under

our DA did something similar, raised the threshold for retail theft felonies from like $100 to $1000.
same person who personally fricked the jussie smollett case to make sure he'd get off scot free btw
she also won re-election after both these incidents, plus a slew of other shit like saying she has more in common with criminals than the victims of crime (she was trying to make a racial remark but it's just so tone-deaf from the DA)

NO WE HAVE TO DELAY OUR PURCHASE SPENDING SO THEY CAN SEE THEIR SIGNIFICANT DROP IN REVENUE, DESPITE THE FACT WE'RE LITERALLY ONLY DELAYING OUR PURCHASES AND THAT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER SINCE IT'S ALL CONSOLIDATED TOGETHER ANYWAY AS MONTHLY REVENUE SO THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN NOTICE THE CHANGE!!!!

why do lib protests always seem to focus on fricking up their own communities economy? Whether your burning the local crafts shop down or refusing to buy nicknacks from there, its not gonna affect Drumpf nor influence his decisions.

I think, in the larger sense, the people who lead these such movements and actually find momentum behind their asinine ideas end up gathering larger community notice, regardless of whether that's good or evil.
At least it helps lurkers like myself find big fishies' names, showing up once again in the mom and plant group goss and community apps.

I saw it with our recent anti-duopoly boycott (frick the duopoly tho). After the excitement wore off, it became inconvenient. "Oh, I really need x which is at Woolies. It'll be okay if I go just this once." That then snowballs until the protest's momentum is nothing.
