“Boycotts never work. Move on to plan B.”

The effective type of ‘boycott’ is one in which you don't waste your time trying to selectively ‘defund’ a specific company, but one in which you spend your money very selectively on products and services from companies who share at least part of your world view. Reward those who deserve it.

To that end, it really is important that we identify amongst ourselves who we feel is worthy of our economic support. One thing I will personally do is to spend money more selectively on books from authors who deserve support, and avoid spending a dime at the movies. I have absolutely no desire to fund Hollywood. In fact, I would suggest watching foreign subtitled movies if you need a movie ‘fix’, and teach yourself a foreign language in the process.

Was talking about this with each of my grown kids today. Like-minded producers need to trade, barter, do business with each other. Just like greenies support their own. We can leave a mark if we get serious about it. we also need to get our families out of the public school systems.
