Huuh? Great they have somehow a mean, I guess? But they should shift their perspective on why they should boycott not only US based multibillon dollar companies but every company involved in destroying our only home and our fragile body, our kids future? …
But whatever 🤷♂️
Yes, excellent idea, stop participating in society. /s
Huh? Never did I mentioned to not participate in society. On the contrary. However I find it a bit hypocrite…
Would France boycott coca cola, McD, Tesla if Trump wasn’t elected? ://
France should boycott France?! Let’s be realistic, how does someone like Macron is still in power despite the new votes to take him down?
Just my personal opinion, I’m not versed enough in politics to judge anyone. However, I have read a lot about how those multi billion dollar companies destroy our kids future…
Boycott for the real reason, not with a sketchy political background !
Keep them poor so they can’t fight. Then say the reason they are poor is people want to fight. Fall in line and you’ll get jobs. Welcome to tyranny.
On the rainy Grands Boulevards in Paris on Friday, the branches of McDonald’s and KFC were doing brisk business.
There was little sign of “le boycott” – a movement among French customers to reject American brands and products made in the US, in protest at Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and anti-Europe rhetoric.

I don’t believe Starbucks KFC and McDonald’s are the cheapest options for students. But I don’t live in France so I don’t know. I would have guessed making your own sandwich at home and bringing your own drink would have been considerably cheaper than McTrash.

To me it’s a fake argument. High schoolers in France don’t have jobs for the most part and fully rely on their parents. This is probably in Paris so it would be the case, and with those names it is likely the case, also saying something about their parents class

Yeah that’s fucking bullshit. Mcdonalds isn’t very cheap at all.
