Speaking of boycotts:

https://insideevs.com/news/750076/tesla ... -globally/
The story gets worse in other parts of the world. In Germany, where Tesla was the longtime EV sales leader even as new entries from Volkswagen, BMW, Audi and various Chinese brands started showing up, sales declined a whole 60% in January—just 1,277 registrations in Europe's biggest car market, according to Fortune. Tesla’s sales were also down 63% in France in January, another large car market, from a year earlier. They also dropped 8% in the UK year-over-year in January even as all-electric vehicle sales rose to 21% of the British new car market, a seven-point increase from 2024. "No Tesla cracked the UK's top 10 best-seller list last month, something that has regularly happened in the past," Ars Technica reported this week.
Isn't it surprising that it is bad for business if your CEO is a publicly identified fascist?

It gets better, though:

P.S. I still don't drive a blue Tesla.

Just saying, our polite neighbors to the north seem to be on a tear about boycotting products from us.

A 1 day boycott is about as effective as bailing is out a sinking boat that had a,4 inch hole with a thimble.
On the other hand, if you are going to accomplish anything worthwhile, you need to start somewhere. With that mindset you aren't likely to accomplish anything worthwhile and be profoundly embittered in your old age.

These people aren’t real smart Jingles and they’re super exhausted from all the freaking out they’re doing these days! Apparently democracy isn’t their cup of tea.

This is good.

I'd remind people that you're still paying the man if you use a credit or debit card that day, even if at a local business. So use cash if you can. And for sure don't put fuel in your vehicle that day, even from a local business.

Get the word out on this. I wish we could do it sooner. It really is easy to buy nothing if you plan ahead.
Was this posted somewhere? I say put up leaflets where ever you go.
