I guess we're at a point in history were companies can completely alienate half the population & still make enough money to survive. You'd think these people would just keep their mouths shut and let the profits pour in. But I guess not.

I have boycotted Nabisco/Mondelez International since they closed the bakery in Chicago and moved it to Mexico. Never bought a thing from them since.

Of note: it was Donald Trump I remember calling for this, I embraced it and I have stuck with it. They lost my business.

Same here. Haven’t had veal in decades.
Me neither, maybe thirty five or forty years. I never saw any documentary though. I did read about it at some point.

Nothing. I don't eat veal because of animal welfare issues, but I do not boycott any one company. People are entitled to their own political beliefs, they do not have to line up with mine.

I haven't supported Chick-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby or Jimmy John's in years. I don't support businesses that are homophobic, sexist or that support game hunting.

Starbucks.. although I only used to go if I had a gift card.
Papa Johns.. it went down hill but the owner made it easier to never but it again.

Can’t say that I’m actively boycotting, I just won’t go out of my way to use those places.

I’m in that same club.

Haven’t patronized any of those businesses for years.

That's not cancel culture.

Cancel culture would be if I tried to force EVERYONE to stop watching football.
I think announcing it over and over again is an attempt to sway public opinion.

How many times are people going to announce they no longer watch the NFL.

Now we have Kaep fans AND Kaep haters refusing to watch the NFL. Might as well get along and start a game outside since both sides are boycotting.

I haven’t been to a Starbucks since 1996 and I haven’t been to a BK since 2004. I rarely ever go to Target and only if I can’t find what I need elsewhere.
