Ppl could ask heads of state/local unions to explain why union pensions/401ks are invested in corps via investment firms that both lobby for policies that hurt union members & if union members should have more self directed investing options to have choice to invest in more social responsible corps.
My thoughts on boycotts in the Trump II era are that if all the corporations are owned/controlled by the same group of "Major Shareholders" then there's only one type of boycott that can hurt them: A boycott of work, of consumption, of the entire oligarch-controlled economy itself.

"The people are the point." is something I tell my students over and over again. I want to dispel this myth that you are likely to be successful in *anything* not having a commitment to serving and creating value for other people.

Unfortunately, 3rd-party sources for food recall info may have limited value if 47 ends Fed gov’t product recall notices/mandates. May be wise for ppl to prepare to change their diet to try to minimize risk (e.g. go vegan, only eat cooked veggies, don’t eat processed or prepared foods, etc.)
Do any of you use an app that gives notifications on food recalls?

Many of young ppl in CRM had significant achievements & life exp BEFORE they got involved in CRM. Like military service in WWII or Korean War and/or graduating from college w/ legit hard major like chemistry. Lots of college Fr. today never had summer job in HS. Kids today have far less learned exp.
The civil rights movement was led and powered forward by kids - like 23 years olds - who brought along the older generations.

We're literally in the reverse now. Older folks were pushing the kids to care about their rights here first and was met with "ehh both sides are the same".
