Texas instruments came to mind as being quite difficult to boycott.

As a texan, a boycott would hurt me but I understand. I'd likely not see any benefits during so called good times but I volunteer to sacrifice to suffer with the rest of those awful fucks around me during the bad times. Remember though, we suffer together regardless of whether or not we're progressive or bass ackwards hicks and racists.

Newsflash, those slack-jawed daughter-fuckers around you are the reason you're currently suffering, not any of us.

I can't change that unfortunately. I voted and that's about all the agency I've got. What I'm saying is that what affects the state affects all of us in it. Including trying to change things on the outside.

I'm gonna miss Dr. Pepper.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

He's out of network now.

FWIW, I say we give it back to Mexico, along with Arizona, and I dunno "New" Mexico, too? Hell, they can have the limp peen Florida as well, provided they send the politicians to their own local "immigrant" camps. 🤌🏼

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mexico deserves better than Texas.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

So do millions of those stuck in Texas, but 🤷🏼‍♂️

Does anyone ever get bummed when the big boycott of the time happens and you can't participate because you already don't buy their products? Chick-Fil-A, McDonald's, Walmart, Target, Facebook, HP...

I'd feel good about never supporting them in the first place but then I'm equally as non-supportive of the companies the Right boycotts too. Budweiser, Goya, Disney, ... oddly, also Target and Chick-Fil-A...

So it feels like I'm either not supporting left wing causes or I'm also equally supporting right wing causes by default. Any way, like i said, it gets me bummed.

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Uh...why are we boycotting Texas? Not that our state government hasn't been dogshit for decades now, but I'm not aware of it being meaningfully worse than other deep red states or even the federal government under Trump II.

[–] BJ_and_the_bear@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Probably in response to the Texas GOP current push for redistricting (gerrymandering) at behest of Trump

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Probably should be noted that they were already planning to do this and then Trump jumped on board to try and take credit for it. I don't think he's smart enough to come up with it.

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ah, ty. I wasn't aware it was that big of a deal nationally. It may be a particularly egregious example, but gerrymandering is extremely common in the US so I figured it was business as usually for everyone outside the state.

[–] BJ_and_the_bear@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It’s getting a lot of attention nationally. Particularly because it’s happening 5 years early, redistricting usually follows a census. And Trump is pushing Texas GOP to do it; he’s claiming he is “entitled” to 5 additional Republican seats out of Texas, and no one is denying that is the reason it is being done. In the current climate, 5 seats can make all the difference in the world (5 seats flipping to Dem would swap the current majority for example)

California and New York have declared they will retaliate with their own redistricting if Texas goes theough with it.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

I'm gonna continue ignoring Texas' existence

[–] no_nothing@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I will continue to not use these things! solidarity!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Whole Foods is owned by Amazon. An equally good reason to boycott them...
