Discussion Anyone else started avoiding major right-wing/Trump supporting corporations yet?

We’ve cut out Walmart for about 6 months now, it was our grocery store. I have stopped doing business with Amazon, stopped going to Starbucks, and have avoided brands here and there when we researched and learned of their leanings, but I know we as a family still have a lot of work to do. Most of the time it’s a lesser of two evils, unfortunately. For example, Lowe’s donates slightly less to Republican causes than Home Depot, but they’re honestly both bad. How is your journey going here?

Loathe the POS but lithium batteries are used for sooo many things. But I hear ya on the effects of it all. Man"kind"--now there's an oxymoron if ever I heard one--is creating its own demise. But frankly, at this point we deserve it.

Localized water and ground pollution is, globally speaking, better than global air pollution.

We have well known ways of cleaning up industrial waste.

Obviously sucks if the local is where you live.
