    No. this one day is pretty initial. Its about taking notice. I don’t think anyone thinks its a one and done thing. Consumption is a huge part of our modern society and big monopolies will be effected as we change our ways. I honestly will not make a big impact on today as im sorta dropped out in participation as much as is possible. ironically its the big consumer types who abstain that will have the biggest impact. Its to show them what will happen if we don’t have the means to utilize their companies which is what will happen on the current track. In some ways its to give them a glimpse about the future. Also it is a very good time for folks to save for the future and be frugal.

        This boycott sure looks like a early step in building class consciousness and class organization.

          We are workers as a class, not consumers, we work way more than the wealthy whereas they consume more. Our power resides in labor organising, unionisation, and mutual aid, not in consumption.
