As you note, it’s still Saturday morning. Jeez, what’re the Sunday show runners gonna focus on? I mean, the lazy take is Ronna, but WTF these Republicans are announcing their plans to end democracy. So… I reckon it’ll be an interview in an Upper Peninsula diner about immigrants.

A friend who lives in Michigan once explained to me that if you hold up your left hand, you get a good map of Michigan. I asked about the UP, and he said that is the asshole of Michigan.

Seems legit

It is a nice drive through the UP, towns like Ironwood. I did not talk with many locals there, so I can't say I know much about their politics. I remember crossing the bridge into Sault Ste Marie, CA and getting a motel room for a lay up. Walked down to the downstairs bar/diner and got a table by a wooden post. On it, some guy graffitied "Please do not smoke cigars here!" And below that, some wit added, "Don't tell the Americans that" :D

OMG. If we had a dime for every ridiculous 15 minutes of fame granted to the "We need to secure our [southern] borders!" morons wringing their hands in diners on the Upper Peninsula, we could underwrite the next Powerball lottery. Thanks for calling out one of my major pet peeves. Oy!

Have you ever boycotted a person, product, location or service? Statistics show about one quarter to one third of us boycott. Younger more affluent Democrats tend to boycott the most, and politics leads the list of most likely reasons to boycott. Typically, this type of action is more self-satisfying than effective in hurting the bottom line of the entity you target. Nonetheless I have boycotted numerous people, places, and things through the years.

My first boycott was Exxon in 1989 after the Exxon Valdese fiasco. Walmart Chick Filet Papa Johns Cracker Barrel ATT Toyota Tesla Target TwitterX, and Facebook for ‘reasons’ followed suit over the years. Florida, Texas, and most of the south as well as all blood red states will never have to see my ugly mug again. I also boycott celebrities including Sylvester Stallone Tom Cruise Susan Sarandon Rosanne Barr James Woods Jon Voight Kelsey Grammer Arnold Schwarzenegger Tim Allen Dennis Quaid and Vince Vaughn as they all display fascist interest and an allegiance to Dumbo. I don’t hate this group, but I am adamantly against funding and supporting any of them in any way.

The other side is of course more vocally active in their boycotts, you probably know which entities they boycott because these would be the products, services and people you would normally support. I also keep tabs on what ‘they’ boycott to insure I use that service or product. Do you boycott? If so, who, what, where, and why?

I've been boycotting Koch Industries products for decades. Listed below are the most common household products they make to never buy. Curious how the biggest a-hole(s) are in the TP business. There is a longer list on them thar internets that includes construction materials:

KOCH BROTHERS PRODUCTS TO BOYCOTT:

American Greetings Cards

Angel Soft toilet paper

Brawny paper towels

Dixie plates, bowls, napkins and cups

Mardi Gras napkins and towels

Quilted Northern toilet paper

Soft ‘n Gentle toilet paper

Sparkle napkins

Vanity fair napkins

Zee napkins

Georgia-Pacific paper products and envelopes

Lycra

Stainmaster Carpet

Yep—I found out about Koch Industries right about the time I started driving again. It saddened me a bit because Gulf gas stations tended to have cheaper prices than the competition, and a lot of stores sold either Bounty OR Brawny paper towels, but I made the adjustments anyway.

Even if it costs a bit more, I feel better about myself.

I will not be spending any money in any state that has ridiculous abortion restrictions or bans.

I boycott Starbucks everywhere. I have been pointing out to Germans that they are big union busters in the USA since many US businesses come to Germany and cannot union bust like they do in the states. They drove Walmart out because of their laws did not fit with the Walton family business model of total exploitation of their work staff. I am getting ready to dump Amazon. Might do so with google too, but not yet. That transition might take a year or two while I redo my files elsewhere. So, not just boycott in a temporary sense but more permanently. I try to avoid plastics in general. None in my clothing so they don't go in the wash. I got rid of my NYT subscription. Try not to frequent union busting businesses when I can. I am boycotting US Universities because their tuitions are all ridiculous. It should be free, at least the state universities, and not like in my home state where only with a B average can you get free tuition to one of 2 unis if your parents have an income of $69,000 or less (not counting house and retirement accounts). Like people with 2 or 3 kids and an income of $100,000 can afford their children's tuition without going into major debt. Everyone should have free tuition in state universities and be taxed accordingly!

I won’t buy gas at ARCO. I have been known to use their public restroom. I had a very unladylike slogan (“I only sh*t at ARCO.”) Why this rage? I had an ARCO credit card soon after buying my first car in 1968. I had excellent credit, even as a teenager and I promptly paid my bills! ARCO even sent me their Gold Card (which never expired and was for their very best customers or so they said). The Gold Card no longer exists, but that’s not why I boycott ARCO. Nope. When I married a few years later, I notified all my creditors — new name, new address. ARCO was the only company which required me to complete a new credit application and start a new account. My husband hadn’t moved or changed his name, but women do that when they marry. Instead of simply updating my name and address, ARCO wanted me to start over. I cut up my credit card and mailed a letter to the president of ARCO, explaining why they’d lost my business. Forever. I am 73 years old. I keep my promise.

I enjoyed shopping at Hobby Lobby until I learned the owners screen employees for their religious beliefs and want their employees to pray or some such nonsense AND of course the Hobby Lobby case is a turn off because it disrespects women (to put it mildly). The court made a ridiculous ruling about a secular company having a justified religious preference (we’re not talking about Little Sisters of the Poor persuing religious missions, Hobby Lobby is a crafts store) and the court allowed them to deny women health benefits the company was offended by. I’ll admit I don’t have exactly right all the details about the Hobby Lobby case or how they treat their employees. It doesn’t matter. They did what they did and didn’t do what they should and they punked us and the court by claiming a secular business has a religious belief which is garbage. No company reads a Bible, attends church, or any close to it. The owners of a company may do all those things, and I respect their right to their religious beliefs and practices, but they should inflict those beliefs and practices on the rest of us.

I have never gone to a Chick-fil-A. I can overlook that it has a stupid name, but I can’t overlook it’s aversion to gays and lesbians and others they don’t understand.

Expand full comment

Great read Valeri, Thanks for your strong beliefs too! Your experience reminds me of when I got out of college I applied for various credit cards and the only turn down was JC Penny which my mother had clothed my siblings and me in their latest styles 😂all our lives. LOL JCP was dead to me and fifty years later not one foot in their stores.

Absolutely. Taught my kids the same.

Expand full comment

I did too. My daughter was the only one in her class who did not go to Starbucks. I said she could only go to the two that were unionized in our city. One happens to be in our neighborhood, but then Starbucks shut it down. I wrote to Starbucks a few times that I was only going to go to unionized stores, and the first time their corporate idiot in charge of community relations or something like that wrote me back and tried to tell me that they thought they could handle things better than their unionized workers, and I told her not to insult my intelligence or her own by thinking anyone would believe that shit. Afterwards I did not hear that sort of stuff from them again. So, they apparently either got lazy, or can learn.

Hi Hoyt!

I refuse to cross the Mason-Dixon Line for any other reason than to visit my son and fam in NC. Hobby Lobby, Chic fil A, Walmart, Walgreens, Papa John’s (never cared for the pizza) Cracker Barrel, Home Depot, Target (but mostly because they have nothing I wish to buy). All the actors you mentioned for the same reasons. The only one on that list that’s a disappointed for me is Dennis Quaid. I thought he meant it when he saved the planet in Day After Tomorrow with Jake Gyllenhaal (juuust kidding, not surprised).

My boycotting means I’m not helping, knowingly. But other than becoming Amish, I can’t be positive.

Oh, one more thing, I don’t watch cable or network news.

I do however need a XTwitter fix every now and then. It’s disturbingly hilarious to read what some people believe to be reality and I can’t help it. I promise to try harder.

I have been boycotting Bill Maher, but hey, he gets it right more often than not lately (hubby watches and reports back).

I hope you receive a lot of replies, I’d also like to know what others boycott.

I started the boycott when I found out after their SCOTUS win, that their 401K plan was invested in the very companies that produce those birth control methods HL was so adamant about not providing via their insurance plan to their female employees. So, their "deeply held religious beliefs" allow them to not provide insurance coverage for contraception, but it sure doesn't prevent them from taking the money from companies that make them.

Good thing about using Trump's own words against him is that he can TRY to say "I didn't say that!" but the video doesn't lie.

Of course he'll just claim that it was AI generated but we all know the truth.

I really don't think he cares what he says now. Is he even in control or understands his speech? I would say yes regretfully.

“keep the rubes riled up over imaginary bullshit and they won’t notice that you’re picking their pockets”. That is it exactly Jeff!

but not only are Republicans trying to take away your Medicare and your Social Security and your right to make your own decisions about your body, let’s not forget taking our voting rights, civil rights, the ACA and healthcare, imprisoning journalists, more tax breaks for the wealthy, deregulation, no vaccine requirements, banning books, a Christofascist religious state, rounding up all undocumented people and putting them in camps, and don’t forget Bannon just said he wants to imprison all democrats. These are just some of the myriad of horrors mentioned by dear leader and the MAGATS if dementia Don is reelected. Sounds like fun!
