Discussion What’s the point in Boycotting?

It seems like everyone forgot about standing against major corporations that eliminate DEl and supporting small businesses-only to turn around and go back a few days later for something like cheaper cake. What's the point of starting a movement if everyone abandons it so quickly?

What happened to boxed cakes? They are cheap and excellent. Stop trying to keep up with the jonses.

And, IMO, infinitely better than the average supermarket sheet cake.

Homemade cakes are charming! Even just aesthetically, I think they're so much cuter.
