Outside of necessities (food), buy nothing until Trump repeals the tariffs. Why should WE pay for HIS mistakes?
No new clothes. No new cars. No luxury items or toys. No Amazon, no Walmart, no big box retailers or food chains (McDonalds, etc).
Hit Trump’s billionaire backers where it hurts, in their wallet.
If you absolutely have to buy something, shop small and support local businesses.

I couldn’t buy those things anyway, even if I wanted to. My dollar has less power now.
I mean, you should, although somebody informed me that those are illegal in the US, apparently.
Only issue there is what the post describes is not a general strike.
A general strike is a nationwide, all-businesses strike where every worker refuses to work. A mass boycott can be part of a general strike, but it’s not a general strike by itself.
I’ve said it elsewhere, it never ceases to astound me to what degree the US populace will go to not actually do anything when feigning outrage. Proposing a mass boycott while the country isn’t even protesting on relatively small scales is an amazing show of “I’ve done nothing and I’m all out of ideas” political action.
