Apparently some retailers have already made one-day discounts on some products. They’re scared. Good.
Yeah, I’m suprised it’s picking up so much steam. I am also participating, but I don’t really have money so I probably wouldn’t be buying anything anyway.
Funny thing about this, the message that was being forwarded about this suggested buying groceries the day before, which would kinda defeat the purpose of the boycott.
Makes me think of water limitation regimes where they ration water over certain hours when there’s a draught. One would think that people would consume the same water over different periods. But it turns out that the consequence is that less water is consumed. I guess here it’s similar. You’ll still buy your bread and milk, but probably won’t pass by for chewing gum when you just instantly feel like it.
