That's fair I often go a little too hardcore in my boycotts, and realize I'm left with little to no options in picking up something I need. No Walmart, no Menards, no amazon, and try to avoid target, luckily I've found a few small shops around town that I didn't know existed, simply cause I had to find some things for the house.

Once while driving through the middle of nowhere I found myself getting hungry and all they had was a McDonald's and a dumpy looking gas station. So I passed on and wound up regretting it cause the next town of any significant size was nearly 80 miles away and I found myself getting lightheaded and my vision started getting hazy. Luckily I passed a town with a clean looking gas station before I got to the bigger town and I discovered the magic that is Casey's pizza.

The correct answer isn't left for us to easily choose, but Casey's pizza is one of those cboices. I'd reccomend trying the breakfast pizza with gravy sauce if you have an opportunity sometime.

Keep fighting your fight, and I'll keep pushing on mine. I'm getting close to helping some coworkers see how the economy they voted for is getting worse. I wish I could make basic human rights be more important to them, but The Machine is built to counter that specifically. I'll take what I can get.

I've been doing that at work as well. Older Gen x types that don't follow the news much. Right leaning but not far right are usually the highest success ratio for me. "Hey did you see they're doing _______, crazy"
