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?

I'm so glad I've got HEB and COSTCO. Plus there's plenty of local bakeries doing cakes for like 50. It's once a year, spoil yourself to some non-corporate luxury
Edit: also, cheesecake is perfectly acceptable as a birthday cake and it's so easy to make
