Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

? Weird take. Cash is the legal tender. Credit Card is a slippery slope that gets people to overspend and extort fees. Cash is still highly used all over the works for daily transactions, even though google and apple wallet exist. Not every vendor wants MC/Visa to have a 4% cut of their sales either .

I don't mind covering CC fees to avoid the hassle/danger of cash when I'm traveling and in general tbh.

Sure but some vendors don't want to pay MC or Visa the skim % they take from profit, so cash is sometimes preferred

That's what I mean. I'm happy to cover that. Bunch of small retailers have a notice that there's a 3% surcharge for CC transactions. Well worth it for me.
