It depends. In some cases it's just people walking out to show support. 

And in some cases people make an effort to support small businesses instead of big ones-and that's a habit that can continue long after the day in question.

If you took the time to walk you won't forget the fellowship you felt during the walkout and you'll resist the nonsense bots that are permeating social media.

The problem is an economic issue. Small businesses can't compete with the big box stores or with on-line retailers like Amazon. Most people won't pay $30 for an item at a local store if they can get the exact same item for $17 from Amazon. I can't blame people for trying to save money, it's sometimes a matter of either going without or paying less.

That's a situation I understand all too well, and I suspect more people go through this than not.

For me, I've found that Amazon wasn't saving me money in the long run-and I didn't order enough or watch enough to justify Amazon Prime. And I'm lucky to live in a place with a lot of good, affordable alternatives.

We can only do what we can-even if for some it's literally helping instead of hurting someone.

I'm so ****ing disgusted and appalled that this man is my President. Whatever gets posted here today, it surely won't trump the alleged rape of a child. This is of course only an allegation, not a charge or a conviction. But it's so ****ing disturbing.
