McDonald's 'economic blackout': Why the fast-food giant is facing a boycott

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Where’s the beef? This week, at McDonald’s.

A boycott targeting the fast-food chain slated to begin June 24 is the latest in a series of consumer actions from the grassroots advocacy group The People's Union USA.

Led by John Schwarz, The People's Union began organizing “economic blackouts” in February motivated by the corporate rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion programs as well as other grievances.

McDonald’s was one of the corporations to roll back its DEI initiatives in January. Citing the “evolving landscape around DEI,” it stopped setting goals to increase diversity in senior leadership and ended a program that encouraged diversity among its suppliers.

1. I'm boycotting' as fast as I can, cap'n!

As I already avoid that wretched place, my next course of action should involve a bullhorn .

2. Im part of this

They rotate blackouts. Included are Walmart, Amazon,General Mills,etc. Some three day weekends include entire economic blackouts.

3. Outside of a very occasional Egg McMuffin meal in the AM I have boycotted for a long time.

My body does not do well with their products in it. A few years ago I was hungry and I had
2 of their Filet of Fish sandwiches and about 1/2 an hour later when I was on one of my
native plant / natural areas I got hit by some nasty diarrhea. And now they are going along
with Krasnov’s bigoted/sexist anti DEI crap? I’m done with them.

This is a very stupid move on their part.

4. Haven't eaten there in years. No good veggie options.

5. I've been boycotting ever since I could afford to eat elsewhere.

6. Haven't eaten fast food in years

Mickey D’s is only suitable for an emergency restroom break if you are really desperate.

7. They literally answered their own question in that article. Go Nazi, go broke!
