We need employee customer partnership unions. Somebody tell me if this concept already exists. Each employee or union organizes a pledge of sympathetic customers in the local area that agree to boycott a brand or location as a silent strike. When the union or employee organization votes for a customer strike then the group of pledged customers will not shop, buy or engage with service from the company the employees work for. Because most customers are workers too and the company strategy is a divide and conquer for profit deal. I remember Market Basket had a strike and the sympathetic customer boycotted the stores and it really worked.

Yeah, I might have my price wrong. It was just a pack. Could have been $1.05 but that seems so low.

At age in 1975 I would be given $2 and walk a block to Cumberland Farms on Pine Street in Portland and buy Winston 100s for my step mother. I always wished I had my own money to buy the 25 cent candy bars there on the shelf.

A true worry. It seems we don't seem to have any push back on visual annoyance. Signs and sings and signs. Billboards (not in maine). Road signs- our stop signs now all have signs that warn there is stop sign. Cities and towns installing bright digital information screens. More and more you look around and see visual pollution. People walking a beach at night with a headlamp on. It's like we don't have any sense of the disruption on serenity all these thing have. And space won't be any different. (okay rant over)

Yeah, nobody wants to admit that there's a third side to this discussion. Those of us for whatever reasons are not against climate change.

Then grow other crops. A warmer planet does not mean severe drought. These are not proven things.

I respectfully disagree. I suppose it's how you define "our"

Adapt and enjoy the longer, warmer summers and change of ecology such as tree and animal diversity. Be thankful for lower heating bills and better farm produce. Go swimming in the ocean more because it's not too freaking cold. Just to name a few.

I'd rather have people keep their headlights off. I can see you and I'd rather not be blinded.

No, not a picket line. Organized customer boycotts.
