    Been boycotting a few of those since their inception and the others for 15 + years. I talk with people about how bad walmart,target , Amazon are for our area and local business when they opine about the “good old days” and they say " wow, yeah your right , wow . But I can order a charger for my cell phone and have it at my door tomorrow".

    Most people are just receivers for advertising at this point. It’s scary

      Great job! Keep talking to people! These corps got rich with our meager contributions, they can get poor without them!

        I won’t stop but the problem is they have become so conditioned they actually need to be deprogrammed before it can sink in .

          That’s harkening back to my original comment. Anytime they whine about what’s happening, to sum up Parkrose Permaculture, 1. Call your representative, even Republican. Do not have to state voting habits, just “This is hurting our state’s economy, and your reelection.” 2. Stop buying from these companies. 3. Get out in the streets, OR volunteer time in some manner. Contact 50501 or DSA or CPUSA, or your local union, etc. “I have experience with spreadsheets/organization/logistics/etc, how can I help?”
