Any company without a strong union.

Vanguard and Blackrock. Their retirement fund allow them to have a significant share of major companies when compared to individuals

if government agencies are possible then the nsa

I forgot the name but that one shit company with a U that is literally as bad as Nestle

EA need to make some decent games so I cannot buy their games on principal, rather than not buying their games because I don't care.

I literally do not boy have enough time in the day to type all of them. There's just so many that are awful.

Every company here deserves some sort of corporate death penalty where the CEOs face consequences and the company becomes worker owned and operated.

This isn't an ideological boycott, this is stuff I avoid bc it's not great.

ATT (I get better cell service in a subway than I do in my house and I'm on it because my MVNO switched from T-Mobile to att) HP (worlds shittiest hinges) Comcast, Spectrum (parents have comcast, it sucks. My friends have Spectrum, it also sucks)

Ford, General Motors, Stellantis.

I do not buy from bp, and I only buy from Walmart if there's literally no other option. My go to department store is Target or whatever local store has what I need, usually it is the former is Walmart is the reason why Mom and Pop stores don't really exist anymore unless they fulfill a very specific niche.

My local Walmart does not get any of my business, if I go in, it's probably just to visit the Checkers renting store space from Walmart

Boycotts aren't going to kill a company. They are to influence them.

I did boycott ChikFilA when it came out they were supporting homophobic asshats. And once they announced they were dropping those charities, I stopped boycotting.

I use CVS over Walgreens as long as I can get my prescriptions at CVS due to Walgreens stances against women's health. If Walgreens ever cleans up, I would happily use them more often because they are more convenient and inexpensive for me.

I only go to Shell gas stations as a last resort because they blast ads at you while pumping gas.

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. Like others said, name companies that deserve business because I don't know how to avoid the ones that don't. Name someone who doesn't go to(off the top of my head without googling): Chick-fil-A, Amazon, Target, Walmart, Kroger, any gas station, Nestle...any giant corpo that owns a dozen others. We can pretend boycotting works so we can feel better about having a moral high ground over other exploited workers or we can massacre the billionaire ruling class.
