I'm just wondering what companies are on everyone's boycott list. Mine are- Dicks "sporting goods" Target Gander Outdoors Yeti Kroger I don't want to support any company that is anti-fur, anti-2A or anti-Christian. I know that there are many more that I didn't list (that I don't know about/don't recall at this time) and I know it is probably near impossible to boycott them all, but I would like to know of others so that I can try to spend my money in the right places. Thanks for any input.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

I'll add New Glarus Brewing in WI Wal-Mart, just cause I don't like what it did to small town stores Add Kmart, Costco, Target, Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, and a hunnert others.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

When towns grew and many grew fast, the local hardware, grocery, shoe store etc. did not and many could not because of the constraints of down town, no parking etc. If the local grocery would have moved to the edge of town and grew with the town, there would have been no room for walmarts etc.

Target because of their foolish, dangerous rest room policies and because Target is the only major store who will not allow Salvation Bell ringers at Christmas time.
I DO support Chick-Fil-A because of their patriotism and Christian attitude toward the poor in my area.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Dick's Sporting Goods, Levi's, Starbucks, Humane Society and Nike. None of those are welcome in my house. I'll be happy to answer why if anyone needs more than speculation.

Diggerman said I am not a fan of Walmart, But they did not out compete the small stores.

I don't disagree at all with the scenario described. Many local businesses failed to see the future and move to meet the challenge it presented. That created an opening for the Walmarts, Home Depots, Lowes, etc. Also, improved transportation via the highway system and the move to a more global economy changed both how people shopped and the competition for shoppers dollars in a way that favored those that bought in bulk. In my mind, that IS out competing the small stores. The process is continuing to change today with internet purchases often being favored over the big box stores. Amazon has led the way and Walmart, Lowes and others are having to adapt.
