I've tried to do this for many years. My "Boycotting" started with Walmart probably 25 years ago, and I eventually had to relent and go there for some things. It is getting to the point where ALL of the choices are Anti-American faggots. Between Walmart and Amazon (and Home Depot I guess) they have pretty much wiped out every other option for most things, especially if you are a rural resident. This Covid Scamdemic is mopping up the holdouts.
Just start the fuck over. WE NEED A NEW COUNTRY WITH NEW RULES.
This is the sad state of things. I still want to make the best effort as I can. I feel I have been giving into convivence far too often.
I agree. Here the only options for groceries is Kroger or Walmart, and they are both faggot companies. Houswares? Walmart or a thrift store, which I try to buy from as much as possible. Lumber or hardware? Home Depot for the most part, although I do business with the nearest "local" sawmill to me, which is about a 3 hour drive, and they only produce 1x Pine. Heading there in the next week or so, as a matter of fact. Would go right now, but my big truck got packratted, and that sucker isn't going anywhere for a while, so I have to rent a truck. Oddly enough, I will be renting a truck from Home Depot to work around buying pine from them. Screaming deal from this mill. Their #2 is mostly clear. Their #3 is what I mostly get (Compares to #2 at most places) and they are charging $1.50 /b.f. $4 at HD right now. Have to buy full bundles (~2,000 bf) though, which is ok with me. I think I am going to get a bundle of their #5 as well if I can get my buddy's trailer. Not sure about that though, he's been out of town. Lot of drop out knots and fire/blue stain in the #5, but @ 50 cents it is a heck of a deal. I have a shed I need to build, so it will be skinned in that probably, even if I have to double trip.
been going out of my way for a number of years buying from small business and local farmers, last year really hurt a lot of them. As being social kept them floating
