- gorjusborg 2y agoSure, an old school grassroots boycott can theoretically work, but talking about it in this context is a little like considering 'GoFundMe' fundraising campaigns as a replacement for a functional medical system. Laws should be enacted and enforced. Personal boycotts are not a replacement for government.
