    Recently I had to choose between Walmart and Target for a couple of needed items. I would have preferred a choice of stores with actual values more closely aligned with my own, but alas, caparilism. I chose Walmart, because it was maybe a few pennies less and a half-mile closer to where I already was.

      Making an effort is good. I do realize that it is unavoidable to completely boycott a place. But the point is to send a message. If they get $15 from me in 2 months instead of the usual $60 a week I’m doing right.

        Thank you. I do think it counts, even if ourselves are the ones getting the message.

      Saying no 80% is still change. I struggle with feeling like I am not doing enough to change tides. But you are at least doing something and that’s better than nothing.
