    People will stock up the day before and binge the day after. It’s not effective or realistic. This is slacktivism. It’s not pessimism to tell you that it’s a dumb plan.

      Like I already said, no, they do not. The sales volume was lower on the days before and after too. The boycott actually changed consumer habits for a while there - people were buying only what they needed and refrained from all other spending.

      I mean if you refrain from going to a cafe bar on friday, it’s not like you are going to make up for it on saturday. Same goes for all “luxury” items basically.
