1. Hobby Lobby NT

[NurseJackie]

3. I should have included it on my list, but...

... there are NONE near me. I don't even think about them as being an option.

But that's still a good one to include! Thanks!

[BannonsLiver]

2. Susie Sarandon is on my list

Mostly because she’s a piece of shit and an oxygen thief. I also don’t eat at Jimmie John’s because the owner is a big game Hunter. Papa John’s is disgusting so that’s a permanent ban. We have a couple of local businesses I avoid like the plague because of their association with RWers and trumpeting of RW causes.

[soothsayer]

4. Did Cracker Barrel reform?

[NurseJackie]

9. I believe they did. Their hostile policies toward LGBT employees...

... have been changed.

[greenjar_01]

21. I think same for Barilla, though

[NurseJackie]

25. That's good to know. They certainly did!

One article I just found on The Google Machine reports how Barilla went "from worst to first" because of consumer backlash over the cruel remarks.

[quaint]

5. Burger King

Many issues
Their stopping tomato pickers from a tiny per unit increase was pure evil.

[NurseJackie]

14. This is news for me... thanks for sharing.

I haven't been to a BK in so long (years and years) I can't even recall the last time.

[Sympthsical]

6. None

We do worse things than shop at hobby lobby. How do you think our phones are made?

Like the Christian Right boycotting because of gay positive messages, it has little to no effect.

People can do whatever.

[NurseJackie]

8. LOL!

It's certainly not going to put Hobby Lobby or Chick-fil-A out of business... but it's more of a personal satisfaction thing with me.

Although... Papa Johns is having a rough time. And the Goya section at my grocery store is much smaller than it was in the past... so you never know.

it has little to no effect.

And in the case of Cracker Barrel, the public awareness of their hostile policies toward LGBT employees caused "revolt" among shareholders and that caused a real change for good.

People can do whatever.

Yes. We often do.

[Sympthsical]

23. Well, that's what I mean

If it makes you feel good, great. It just doesn't make a dent. I agree, it's more about personal satisfaction.

Like, someone put down Susan Sarandon. Is she even still working? The last thing I remember seeing her in is 30 Rock eight years ago.

Feels mostly masturbatory. And, as I said, we do far, far, far worse things with our consumerism than nab an occasional chicken sandwich somewhere. First World activism.

[NurseJackie]

24. I don't understand the hostility and ridicule in your messages.

It just doesn't make a dent.

It "made a dent" with Cracker Barrel. And I'm learning today (and confirmed with a quick google search) that it certainly "made a dent" with regard to Barilla. I believe that most rational people would consider that to be a meaningful success.

Like, someone put down Susan Sarandon. Is she even still working? The last thing I remember seeing her in is 30 Rock eight years ago.

That was me (perhaps someone else as well). She's been in several things since... she played Bette Davis (or was it Joan Crawford) in a mini-series a few years back.

Feels mostly masturbatory. ... First World activism.

I don't understand the hostility and ridicule in your messages.

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. Georgia-Pacific (Koch owned paper products), Home Depot, Coors (anti-union)

Trying hard to wean myself from Amazon, buy mostly from vendors.

And anything in or from Florida, and now Georgia.

[Johonny]

10. FOX news, OAN

Not sure it goes much beyond that.

[NurseJackie]

11. Does it count if I had never watched (or considered watching) them in the past?

They would certainly be a part of my "do-not-watch" list, but I can't stop-watching something I've never watched in the first place.

FUN FACT: Back when we had cable TV, my husband got a great deal of satisfaction in blocking Fox News in the online guide.

[apnu]

12. My Pillow, Fox News, Scott Baio

to name a few.

[hunter]

13. Comcast. All of it. That's a trust that needs to be busted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt#Trust_busting_and_regulation

AT&T... again.

Tesla. If someone gave me one I'd give it away like a hot potato.

Apple. Likewise.

Television news and opinion in general.

U.S.A. "football."

The entire "factory farm" meat and dairy industry.

Anything marketed as "tactical," from sportswear to flashlights to guns.

Anything right wing anti-intellectual Christians are selling.

Etc.

[NurseJackie]

15. I should have added "religion" to my list.

(Just a personal choice. It works for some... not for me.)

[Silent3]

32. If I didn't do business with Comcast...

...I'd have no internet, other than perhaps using my Verizon cell phone as a hotspot for the whole house. Comcast is the only internet service provider in town.

[hunter]

33. Yep, and they pay legislators to keep it that way.

Cable companies do everything they can to restrict competition.

For example, there are currently 18 states in total that have restrictive legislation against municipal broadband networks in the U.S.

https://broadbandnow.com/report/municipal-broadband-roadblocks/

Local regulations also restrict competition throughout the U.S.A.

I'm fortunate to live in a place with multiple internet options.

Comcast wants to be "the internet" just as all restaurants are Taco Bell in the movie "Demolition Man."

Comcast owns and operates the Xfinity residential cable communications subsidiary, Comcast Business, a commercial services provider, Xfinity Mobile, an MVNO of Verizon, over-the-air national broadcast network channels (NBC, Telemundo, TeleXitos, and Cozi TV), multiple cable-only channels (including MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, Syfy, NBCSN, Oxygen, Bravo, and E!, among others), the film studio Universal Pictures, the VOD streaming service Peacock, animation studios (DreamWorks Animation, Illumination, Universal Animation Studios) and Universal Parks & Resorts. It also has significant holdings in digital distribution, such as thePlatform, which it acquired in 2006. Since October 2018, it is also the parent company of mass media pan-European company Sky Group, making it the biggest media company with more than 53 million subscribers in the U.S. and Europe.

16. My Pillow, 90% + of the KKKountry music klan.

[Cartoonist]

17. The Goya situation

This applies to other companies with an asshole for a president.

I don't think I have ever bought a Goya product, unless it was a can of kidney beans I made some chili with.

My concern is with the workers. If a boycott does economic harm to the company, who ends up paying the price? The rich CEO, or the workers? If My Pillow goes out of business, Lindell will still be rich. The employees will be out of work.

[NurseJackie]

19. In time, whatever void is created will be filled by other producers or products... it seems to me.

If people aren't buying Goya beans, then they're probably buying the beans from another company. (Speaking for myself, I haven't stopped eating beans or rice.) So, the companies who benefit from the increased business hire new employees; buy steel cans from the the same suppliers that Goya uses; buy beans from the same sources that Goya uses; etc etc.

The jobs may move, but they're not gone forever.

[dclarston13]

18. pretty much most broadcast media

I have little use for them. It really does not matter much to me which side they purport to be on including the both sides types. When you willingly repeat lies in the form of media clips by the liars, you are supporting the lie and giving it air. This has to stop! They do this on on purpose to generate more viewers, but the whole thing is like a middle school lunch table. Did you hear what so and so said about this guy? How cares, give me the facts not your opinion. I have not seen any media org outline the election verification process in a way that a six grader could understand. For the most part they may have touched on an aspect or 2. I never heard anyone say, that concerns being raised have already been addressed through already established processes that were approved prior to the election. That in and of itself made many people believe the big lie. They are as guilty as the liars. Also the use of trigger words is pervasive, they constantly use violent adjective to describe non violent issues. Biden slams trump on this, trump hits back with... That example describes a violent encounter with another human, when it reality it was at best a discussion. This is done to rile up both side, don't kid yourselves. When a talking head says or prints something it is usually vetted by numerous people, they know what they are doing.

[NurseJackie]

20. I have little patience for broadcast media. At the beginning of BushII, I was "hooked" and...

... I'd spend hours glued to cable news. Now, I prefer to read the WP or listen to the in-depth coverage on NPR or BBC-World.

[lpbk2713]

22. GOP Inc

[brooklynite]

26. What does "cancelling" a celebrity mean?

[Danascot]

27. Yuengling and Sam Adams

Company heads are Trump supporters.

[NurseJackie]

29. That's right! I'd heard about both of them.

Pity. They've both appeared regularly at backyard gatherings and July 4th barbecues.

[Paladin]

30. I saw a recent photo of Ted Cruz, holding a Sam Adams.

That did it, for me. Besides, Stella Artois is better beer.

[Danascot]

31. The Stella Artois black lager

is pretty darn good.

[Paladin]

34. Haven't tried it; will do so. Thanks. (nt)

[ismnotwasm]

28. Those And Hobby Lobby.
