The 24 Hour Economic Blackout
Be a part of history
On this day millions of Americans will silently protest economically. We won’t buy anything except essentials. We will still support local independent businesses. But Amazon, Walmart, chain stores and restaurants will be boycotted. We will keep our money home.
It should be an easy but effective way to flex some protest muscle.
It won’t hurt the moneyed class at all. The traitorous Republicans will mock the event. But they will notice.
It will not affect the economy in a meaningful way. People will resume normal activity the next day. But it will be a test.
If White House Crooks and Odiferous Oligarchs even mention it, it will be a successful test. The next one could be three days. And then…?

One of the full benefits of living in Los Angeles are the numerous opportunities to spend more money at mom and pop establishments versus chain.

It’s a tough sell in a society addicted to consumerism…
