Boycotts rarely succeed in hurting the bottom line. Yes, Anheuser-Bush stock prices dropped, but has since rebound back to it's original price prior to the controversy. Although, I do agree consumers should patron local & small business, the reality is they do not for a multitude of reason:: consumers' habitual nature, cost, location, time are just examples.

Good point. Instead of supporting smaller, home town businesses people just boycott one major corporation by switching to another.

Everyone boycotting any company, especially ones that currently support Israel, should watch this.

Vanguard Funds is a nonprofit organization set up by John Bogle. The organization is one of the best low-fee places individual investors can participate in the American financial markets. A bedrock if the USA’s financial success has been publicly held companies. You named Black Rock and Vanguard in the same context. A hedge fund is a completely different animal than an organization such as Vanguard. How do you know that the “old lady” wasn’t interested in profits? Yes - support your local community with you purchasing dollars. Local businesses keep communities vibrant.

Yeah this things are often complicated, this video is the truth, we humans went from tribes that shared everything to mass produce for almost 8 billion human beings, and more to come! Insane

I don't think human nature has changed, and I don't think that tribes have ever really gone away. Where tribes intersect there is conflict and in our modern world the whole world is interconnected. Interesting times indeed.

I subscribed from your battery charger video and was checking out what you do. I'm a hermit and live way back in the woods. I used to think I hated people. Then I realized its not the people its their solutions I hate. You hate what you first fear so I'm essentially afraid of people's solutions. It goes back to my foundational beliefs. By nature, we are all predators. You need not believe me and really should decide this on your own. Go into the woods. Ask a random animal if you are a predator. If they ignore you and keep eating, you are not a predator. If that animal cannot get away from you fast enough, you are a predator. Without knowing you I can tell that of all the children and babies who ever died, none were your direct ancestor. That would be like saying your dad died when he was 4. That is impossible. So of all the famines, plagues, wars, natural disaster, not a single one of those children were your direct ancestor. Why? What makes you so special? It is because your ancestors were obsessed with problem solving. If they were not, you wouldn't be here. Your ancestors solved every single death defying problem at least until they reached puberty. The end result must be someone who is so obsessed with problem solving that almost everything they own or do is ammunition to solve problems. It is bred into them. They cannot help it. Look around. What are you wearing? Does it all solve some problem. Of course it does. Name one thing from Walmart that doesn't solve a problem. You watch movies to see how others solve problems. You even solve them when you die with life insurance. This is why everything gets more and more complicated. Its why more and more laws are made every years. Its in our nature. Humanity has made some solutions that you dont even realize they are solutions-like money. Trading and stealing was the first way to get something. Eventually money solved the most problems so that is what we current use for now. Someone will find a problem with it and change it someday. Why would you want to win the lottery? You could solve anything. Many people think that Indians made arrowheads. The truth is that in a tribe only a few made the arrowheads. Everyone has some problem they are good at solving. Its how a tribe works. The secret to happiness isn't the elimination of problems. That would be like a chita that couldn't run. The secret to happiness is to find the problems that you are made to solve and doing them. The hard truth is although big solutions were here before we were born, it doesn't make them right and your solution. The 3 biggest, to me, are money, religion, and time. Getting more of any of them is the solution to someone but it doesn't have to be you. No one realizes that what we do most of the day is instinctual. An engineer using the sectional modulus to determine a beam size isn't really different than a beaver choosing a branch to plug a damn or twig for a bird to build a nest-all you would consider instinctual.

Il do you one better w the entertainment industry. Support what you want. Because its not changing anytime soon nomatter what you do. I am against alot of things that is being pushed in movies and games nowadahs. But i just suck it up and enjoy the rest of it for what it is. Do i wish it would change? YES. But im smart enough to relize that me not supporting it is doing absutly nothing and on top of that i like what the product is exept for the 1% of trash mixed in w it.
