I already pulled my retirement.
Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.

Wouldn’t it be easier to disrupt the system by—I don’t know—something old & boring like ask everyone to clean out/close their bank accounts at the same time, and cause a run on banks? Where do people come up with these ideas?

Was it not in a 401k or something?

I moved all my IRA and HSA investments to cash only last week, since I have direct control and theres no fees to reinvest later. 401k will stay untouched, hopefully it exists when I’m ready to retire.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It was. Explain why I should be confident that the money will still be there IF I get to retire?

I want mega corps to fail, not spark a great depression.

Yeah, having like <5% of people put off buying stuff for a week isn’t going to do that.
Unfortunately at this point only something fairly world-changing is going to really do much. And it’s definitely going to get much worse before it gets better. Prepare for it.

With that said - I’m definitely not saying DON’T do it. Just realize this is would be a raindrop and we need a flood.

You can’t have change without sacrifice.

Accelerationism is not the best way forward.

What’s the best way forward then?
