I recently chose to release my boycott on home Depot. I found that the one of the founders of home Depot was supporting Trump and since I'm anti-trump it doesn't make sense for me to support his supporters you know?
The friend of my enemy is my enemy after all.
But then I looked into it and found that home Depot had actually disavowed association with the guy and intentionally and willfully does not support any presidential candidate.
I'm still boycotting Walmart and Amazon and Chick-fil-A and hobby lobby though. Walmart and Amazon are some of the largest companies in the world and they can afford to pay their employees living wages and they choose not to in the name of greed.
Chick-fil-A and hobby lobby are companies that sell things that people might occasionally like but at the same time they use their profits to support anti-gay and anti-trans and anti-bodily autonomy movements, and even though I'm not affected by any of those three movements, I'm not going to let my money go into the pockets of people who are spending that money on hate.
Good to know about Home Depot. I shall strike it from my own no-go list.
Huh, I've been boycotting Home Depot, that's good to know
Might want to add Target to that list if you're in the US, they're Walmart levels of shitty.
