i use the nothanks app on my phone to scan the bar codes and it tells me if it's okay to buy or if i should boycott, along w why
I second this app. Really saved me a few times at the grocer.
agreed, but only for now.
if you read further on in this post, it'll appear that their ultimate goal is to give brands the opportunity to clean any ghoulish reputation w money.
.... can there not be one single good intention ever?! ffffffff
Stay TF out of other countries you parasites.
Every US intervention leads to misery

ACAB: All Corporations Are Bastards. Corporations are not your friends. Brands arenβt your friends.
I used to not vote because all politicians are evil. Someone pointed out that if everyone picks the lesser of two evils then things are going to get less evil. Iβve voted every opportunity since.
Corporations are just legal structure organizing people together to do something. The soup kitchen, local artisan, person cutting hair out of their house, they all set up an LLC to operate under. They didnβt instantly become evil.
But if I need to buy a blender, plywood, or underwear (my shopping list this weekend), Iβm going to have to buy it from a corporation. If I could buy it from a less evil corp then hopefully I make things less evil.
One way to fight the corporations is to stop worshipping at the altar of blind consumerism, and embrace the concept of "Reuse, Repair, Recycle."
Stop buying stuff you dont need. Keep using what you have, sell/buy used items, repair things, and if it cant be fixed or repurposed, then recycle it.
Repairing things is a big one. Often repairs are remarkably easy. My wife has been ready to replace numerous appliances over the years, and I figured it was worth taking a shot at fixing it, if I can save a few hundred bucks, and successfully extended the life by years.
Very satisfying, and it forces your wife to rethink her conclusion that you are an incompetent dolt.

Dang if I didnβt read something about the cow treatment at the milk farms they source from. Was sad to hear.
