    @[email protected] You can’t use WalMart either. And didn’t Target remove things after literal in-store attacks by chuds?

    What’s your game plan? It can’t be the mall…

    And if avoiding using Amazon products is your goal, then large swaths of the internet are off the table too.

    I’m not trying to be a jerk. Just illustrating how the oligarchs got us over a barrel when it comes to voting with our patronage.

      I haven’t bought anything from Walmart, Amazon, or Target in over a decade, probably close to two. Sure it costs a little more, but I try to source as much as I can from Costco which helps balance but otherwise I do almost all my shopping from local groceries (surefine, tops) and local hardware stores (franchises I know but generally locally owned)

      Maybe there’s more to the Target stuff, but it’s a little tough for me to heavily criticize them for pulling merch that was getting employees threatened and hurt. I still wish they’d have stuck to their guns and found a way to protect their workers. I think personally what’s worse was the Bud Light debacle. They caved because of profits, not dangers, and passed off both sides.
