February 28th - Economic blackout #1
Feb. 27th, 2025 01:46 pmTomorrow as some of you may know here in the states will be an economic blackout - the first of a few coming up this year! If some of you don't know, the idea is to not spend money anywhere. So it's ideal to stock up before or after this date. There are a few others throughout the next few months. I will try to list them prior to when they happen. They include boycotting business like amazon, walmart, nestle and general mills.

From the website: "Consumers are preparing for a 24-hour economic blackout on Friday, one of several boycotts planned by groups of consumers or activists to protest what they call corporate greed, companies that have rolled back their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and President Donald Trump's efforts to eliminate federal DEI programs since taking office. On Friday, those groups are encouraging consumers to not spend any money anywhere for one day. If they have spend, they are encouraged to buy from a local business."
I will be a part of this. I have gas in my car and food at home. All of these boycotts I will make sure I can help with. It may not seem like much for one person to do it. But if enough of us do our part who knows what will happen...
