If large numbers of people followed your lead, it would result in the loss of perhaps tens of thousands of high-paying American jobs. IBM is a major component of the Dow Jones Industrial average. If a major boycott took hold, the impact would likely be felt in a sinking DJIA. So, it would appear that your goal is to hurt the American economy and job outlook. Why would you want to do such a thing?

IBM isn't the Dow and the Dow isn't the economy.

IBM isn't the Dow and the Dow isn't the economy.

Go back and follow the chain of posts, and you will see that I was responding to a post that advocated selecting a few companies and boycotting them in order to destroy 10% to 25% of their business. Are you claiming that that would not have any effect on the Dow, and/or that would not have any effect on the economy? Boycotting our way to economic growth is a bit like taxing ourselves to economic growth - both are Democrat tactics that are sure to produce the opposite.
