It’s a simple request and really easy to accede to: from midnight on Friday, February 28 to, I guess, 11:59 pm, don’t buy anything from Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. I’m adding Home Depot, CVS, Walgreens, Whole Foods, chain restaurants and fast food deliverers, especially those which have CEOs who’ve made anti-human-rights statements over the years.
