3. my thought on boycotting stores....

... that provide hundreds of employees a job.
It would be remarkable to cut the stores patronage by 50%. Never happen. The problem is, the CEOs boycotters are trying to hurt will still be eating caviar, and drinking champagne. With a 50% cut in patronage I think about the 50% of people who work at the stores losing their jobs and livelihood to offset that cut in sales. I don't think all the workers are trumpers, therefore I don't think I would be comfortable contributing to the loss of even one job so the owner can make only a hundred million dollars a year instead of 200 million. What should they be told? Get a job at another store, and make sure it's owned by a Democrat? That's just my own opinion.
