This isn't an ideological boycott, this is stuff I avoid bc it's not great.

ATT (I get better cell service in a subway than I do in my house and I'm on it because my MVNO switched from T-Mobile to att) HP (worlds shittiest hinges) Comcast, Spectrum (parents have comcast, it sucks. My friends have Spectrum, it also sucks)

Most of them. There are no "good" corporations only ones that are currently tolerable.

Putting aside that boycotting doesn’t work and actually has the opposite effect.

Coca-cola

EA need to make some decent games so I cannot buy their games on principal, rather than not buying their games because I don't care.

Ford, General Motors, Stellantis.

I do not buy from bp, and I only buy from Walmart if there's literally no other option. My go to department store is Target or whatever local store has what I need, usually it is the former is Walmart is the reason why Mom and Pop stores don't really exist anymore unless they fulfill a very specific niche.

My local Walmart does not get any of my business, if I go in, it's probably just to visit the Checkers renting store space from Walmart

Your local slaughterhouse. Of, if that doesn't exist, your regional slaughterhouse.

  1. Retail banks.

Because money laundering regulations in the UK (and I believe in the US and Europe) at least have made free use of one's cash pretty difficult:

Designated accounts to transfer cash so that you have at least twice as many transactions to do as necessary. Inability to remove modest amounts of cash from your own account, or even pay it in.

  1. Corporate banks operating HFT and dark pools to significantly push up the cost of personal share dealing.

  2. Water companies dumping sewage into rivers and failing to fix leaks whilst raising water processing charges and bonuses to the board.

  3. BBC and their sponsor-a-paedo TV tax collected by harassing elderly people, guilty until proved innocent. Used to be wonderful, educational and funny. Now useless woke shit.

  4. Politics. Come back Guido, all is forgiven. Thieving Boris Johnson handing out multi million pound contracts to supply PPE to his local pub landlord (who have no fucking clue about that sector) and his bunch of duplicitous cronies.

I might have got carried away towards the end. Sorry, not sorry.
