Am I wrong in suggesting that the fastest way for dump and musk to lose power is for the economy to tank?
We need a sick-out one day a month, a 3 month long non-necessity purchase embargo and to tell the word as loudly as we can that that's exactly what we're doing!
We can take our power back by exerting it through our choices.

I want to apologize for certainly sounding like I was pushing for the economy to tank. That was not my intention as I was writing, but clearly the words I chose said exactly that. Please forgive such a bumbling amateurish error in words.
What I wanted to suggest was that we have our power of the purse which we can in fact control who we choose to do business with and how.
I've believed for many years now that whenever I believe that I'm absolutely right, I am guaranteed to be absolutely wrong.
I'm now clearly ready to be wrong.
Thank you for your patience and engagement in spite of myself
