Will Gillette ever recover?

It’s been five years, tens of billions lost and an iconic brand hanging on.

MSM denied it then ignored it with right wing boycotts don’t work.

BOL selling a commodity while alienating half the nation.
Govts don’t buy beer , razors, disney’s already peaked streaming or target product-but they not only buy tires-they are firestone’s largest single consumer.

If folks could pick an ip that wasn’t overtly leftist-they’d be doing it.

DIS the single most successful entertainment company in US history-fired CEO, three rounds of layoffs, closed down a 5yo billion dollar hotel, axed 50 shows incl numerous rainbow hits-seems entertainment is a commodity too.

I dropped their products (though I still have a cache of 1985 MicroTrac disposables, the best disposable ever made).

I thought the boycott fizzled out. Harry's was just as bad and I dropped them, too.

How can we tell what Gillette lost, as they are part of the behemoth Proctor & Gamble (I don't even TRY to boycott all their stuff, as the product line is so wide-ranging, and one of their few competitors, Unilever, isn't much better. We do buy a lot of store brands.)

I hope you are right. My personal boycotts are no longer in hopes of bringing oligarchic behemoths to their knees, but as a matter of offered up small sacrifices knowing that catastrophe may be looming, and it is good to deny yourself small things in order to minimize cooperation with evil.
