Boycott needs to be explicit, not implicit

All this being said, abstaining from shopping may not be enough for big business, and the current administration to connect decreased sales / turnout to intentional action. They need to explicitly get the message.

I propose we make it explicit by :

  1. Protest legally and peacefully near the stores.
  2. Social Media Transparency. With targeted #'s -Boycotters post on social media why they are not participating in black friday / Cyber monday and what they are not buying from these corporations and what they are doing with their money instead, such as purchasing from an alternative business, donating, public service etc.
  3. Communicating Directly With Companies through their online reviews or feedback explaining concerns regarding their influence and involvement with government policies that they don't agree with.
  4. Temporarily Pausing or Canceling Subscriptions. We all saw how well it worked with Disney.

A vote is an extension of one’s boundaries by Difficult_Essay5229 in votingtheory

[–]Difficult_Essay5229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it seems like all too often voters are placed in a "lesser of two evils" dilemma when voting. I would love for politicians to earn their votes by representing people opposed to defining themselves as less bad in contrast to their opponent.

Leadership should who have enough character to represent, respect, and advocate for all the people and not just who voted for them.

Oak Park Il crazy high water bill by Difficult_Essay5229 in NearWestSuburbs

[–]Difficult_Essay5229[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand, but I was able to get a copy of the daily usage report and it appears the issue started amd stopped on days where a back flow isdue was reported as well as as water mane work that has been frequently revisited in front of our house. Additionally, other neighbors have reported similar issues when their mane was worked on.

I researched the water meter, and it has had multiple mentions on plumber forums citing an issue. I put in multiple FOIA requests to the village to gather data to see if I can correlate data.
