This is exactly what needs to happen. People need to not go out, not patronize restaurants, theaters, coffee houses, bistros whatever. Just stay home only go out and buy what you essentially need then go home and stay there.

Yes!! The people must go on strike--let our purchasing power (or lack thereof) speak for itself!

If the restaurants, theaters, coffee houses & bistros are run by Trump voters let them feel heat. Not all of them do & are happy to tell you so. Patronize those businesses. Failing that I’m fine to let the economy crash. It’s the only thing Republicans & Trump supporters will understand.

Maybe the DC business owners will hit the media with their experience of the "economy" under goon occupation.

Course Trump will take that as a win. Hard to know the best thing to do.

But the business owners won’t, money is the only thing that matters to donpedo and if businesses turn on him there’s a chance this can end

Well, tariffs ARE closing down some businesses, directly or indirectly. His "brown people bad" stance is doing its' share, as well.

a left field crazy maybe insignificant observation, there are so many HGTV shows, the stars may know how to wield a hammer, but I see a ton of workers doing the actual work, how will those shows/celebrities/businesses survive if ICE visits those construction sites, he’s removing US workforce, WTH

Probably so because he's a dipshit who won't realize until it's too late that when people stay home, spending goes down, businesses suffer, and so goes the jobs & economy numbers.

He wants to isolate America for supreme power, the only indication that Americans aren’t happy with Don is social media, news coverage and commentators are gone, “donpedo met with Putin in Alaska” no other comments even Don saying “I’ll go Back to America”, any other pres would be fried, no mention

CNN - "Still, the US has other sources of data, public & private, to round out a fuller picture of the economy. Shapiro pointed to the Census Bureau & the Bureau of Economic Analysis. These institutions are made up virtually 100% by statisticians & economists,” They’re nonpolitical in their jobs.”

They're cutting production because of adverse weather conditions, particularly a severe drought that impacted arabica crops.

When I google, it says that labor has gotten expensive, shipping has gotten expensive. On and on, plus climate change

I'm finding several articles talking about their extreme drought. Seems like the Arabica beans are the hardest hit, and they're also the best seller around the world. Brazil's coffee stockpiles dwindle as prices hit record highs | Reuters share.google/EM3dmKKxvVuy...

I believe you. I do a straight google, no prompting, just why are coffee prices high, thats when I get the answers giving multiple reasons.

But that affects small businesses and puts companies under and people lose livelihoods and jobs. You all need to show in force

The goal is to destroy blue city economies so that’s not good. Destroying local restaurants doesn’t help our cause. I don’t blame folks for not going out. I wouldn’t either. It’s in total bullshit.

That is bad for businesses. They hate Trump and his thugs as much as us. Each day I think I can’t hate Trump more, and each day I find out I can.

If we made it a national strike it could work. Maybe on Labor Day since schools aren’t in session. Buy nothing that day—massive protests in the streets. No buying. www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

Sure. So they can close and shutter businesses. So then no one rents out the spaces. So they can then sell that all off to their billionaire buddies. See how compliance doesn't work?

Stop shopping Fortune 500. Reuse, recycle, repair. Tariff wars will make that a much easier peaceful protest. Stop shopping and the .01% that own the markets will take notice. Votes with your wallet are better counted than votes at the ballot box. But still vote in every election. Boycott BigBox

Also avoid the Kennedy Center. But then again, they will probably fill the empty seats with MAGAs and charge the tickets to the taxpayers. BTW, does anyone ever audit the office of the President?
