    It’s a little disingenuous to use market cap as evidence here. “WOW $400 million!!” People will say.

    The stock is down 1% in the past 5 days. Half the shit in my portfolio has moved more than that in the last week

    Edit: I am not saying the protest shouldn’t continue, just that it’s not necessarily a massive success based on a 400 million hit in market cap

    Edit 2: I should have read more than a couple paragraphs. It’s actually bigoted right wingers protesting, in which case they can continue their temper tantrum if they’d like, it doesn’t matter

      “The protest must continue!”

      “Oh shit, its not my side so its a temer tantrum now.”

      You must have got whiplash reversing that fast.

        Maybe reread my edits lol? I said “they can keep going, even thought it’s ineffective.” Then I said “idgaf if they keep up the transphobic temper tantrum”

        You must have some pain from stretching my words so far lol

        I find most boycotts stupid, and historically, they have little impact. The boycott on bud was the most effective I have seen. I will have to look again but I believe planet fitness has recovered from it’s dip.
