I think if people are going to boycott companies it can’t just be “Stop buying from XYZ”. It needs to be targeted. More like “from this date until this date we are all going to boycott Company X, then move on to Company Y.” Wouldn’t that be more effective?? I dunno.

They are coming for everyone folks.
A hospital my wife went to in the Seattle, WA area when she was on a B-1 visa called today - four times in a row - to ask if she was still a patient or receiving care elsewhere. She's lived in Japan for two years now. Pretty sure it was an immigration check. Stay safe, everyone

Yesterday I went to The Meat Guy site to stock up for the end of the year, only to find out they shut down the entire site on the 19th of December due to a huge data breach 😳. Of course no emails were sent out because they shut everything down to minimize damage but it’s still worrying.
