    It won’t work because people are just going to stock up the day before and binge the day after. No one is going to feel anything.

      ^^ Lame comment.

      Do you think everybody just has to go out and buy stuff everyday? I certainly don’t, and there are probably days in every one of my weeks where I buy nothing.

      Economic protests are effective, so we should all encourage participation instead of making wet blanket comments to discourage participation.

        This isn’t an economic protest. This is slacktivism. One day or a handful of days will have exactly zero effect. Every one of you advocating for it and defending it is actively hurting the effort. You are the fascists best friend.

            There’s danger in wasting opposition efforts. People will lose hope when these nonsense attempts have no impact. People will spend efforts doing this and feeling productive without actually accomplishing anything. We really don’t have the luxury of throwing effort away.

        Right but shifting purchases one day forward or backward isn’t going to affect anything when business operates on the financial quarter.

        It does send a message but it won’t hit then economically.
