That will surely change things! My guy this world isn't changed by individual choices no matter how much you want to believe it.
You want improved conditions in Walmart? Tell their workers to unionize and fight for their dignity.
Tell that to AB after the whole Bud Light thing. Individual protests DO actually add up just fine.
Yeah... No. The bud light gone woke shit was a nation wide phenomenon and not just independent actions of a few individuals. Not mentioning the constant news coverage, social media activities and videos made by conservaturds to get eachother together on the same page. You want a boycott that works? Learn a thing from them and realize it requires a large connected network of like-minded and cooperating individuals willing to follow a "party line".
The bud light thing is far from a disorganized individual protest.
It's also disingenuous to say that a large store chain many Americans depend on for living is the comparable to a piss canning company.
