... assuming they have jobs and don't all live off welfare in their parents basements.

Doesn't matter, they too are consumers and that's what's it's all about, where their money gets spent.

If these morons quit buying from Amazon, it will make my job a little easier at the USPS delivering packages. 

Even with all the Amazon trucks on the road, they still manage to drop 3 or 4 pallets of their shit to our office every day.

 You tellin' me the stoners are gonna give up their munchies? Yeah. Right.

It'd be more realistic if they said Starbucks and hair dye.

Never underestimate the degree of the struggling working class pissed offness.

*shrug* We'll see. 

I doubt they can hold out long enough that the loss of sales is more than a blip on the companies radar. IF there is any noticeable loss.

Leftist causes seem to start with a whine and end with a whimper.

Don't assume they are all leftists, consider them all ethical consumers and/or struggling working class citizens or they wouldn't be protesting. Even the French revolutionary masses were able to convince the police and military to rise up with them for the right cause.

"The People's Union USA, a consumer-activist movement, is boycotting more companies next month, and Newsweek has compiled a list. It includes a broad network of affiliated brands and services, ranging from Amazon 's retail platforms to PepsiCo's food and beverage products."

If Conservatives were involved, you'd see stock prices go down, there wouldn't just be a boycott. Conservatives dump stock when they mean business. Evidence of Bud Light, Target and Cracker Barrel.

Pepsico, who not only owns Pepsi, but also Frito Lay, Mountain Dew and Gatorade, their stock is actually up. You want to make a dent in a company, dump their stock.
Amazon is down right now, but they yo-yo back and forth just about every day so....

Lol they are banning audible thats like right under burning books. I bet you the mastermind behind this is hoping to short squeeze every stock from the companies on the list and make a huge profit off the emotions and stupidity of others. All i had to do was think of the most diabolical shit I could think of

Doesn't matter, they too are consumers ..

Not if they don't have jobs.

No job = no money.

If they are jobless they better not be spending their welfare ordering from Doordash, spending money on piles of munchies and soda, uber rides, and expensive bottled water,  etc etc.  (that's from the list of what is supposedly being boycotted)

Oh no.

I will be sure to stock up on overpriced coffee and lame attempts at memes.

We have thirteen cans of it in stock.  We did splurge and buy one Maxwell house at 9.99 and one Hills Bros thirty ounce at 12.99 a couple of weeks ago.  Hills has not been on sale, and we missed it, so we figured we would buy one can  because we would feel guilty spending more on it in the future.  The rest of our twelve were between five sixty six and six ninety nine for the cans ranging from 34 to 27 ounce.

The only thing we do not stock much of is milk, which is perishable. 

Fill up your gas cans guys, around here there are quite a few liberals working in the gas stations, but conservatives own them and they will fire any employee who does not show up for that reason.  If that does happen it is really going to hurt the liberal cause....but maybe they are that dumb to think they are going to help their cause.

Well, at least there will be plenty of new jobs around for people who want to work.  I doubt if those people who get fired for that will qualify for unemployment easily if they get fired.
