The February 28th Blackout is a good way for consumers to learn discipline, that is important to our future given the circumstances we now face. #Blackout #Feb28Blackout #Feb28 #EconomicBlackout
(We need ONE hashtag for them.)

Well, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way, but it certainly *looks* like the #feb28blackout had instant effect.

More plausibly, this could be impact of #krasnov's insane policies starting to have effect. I know my own consumer sentiment has gone ice cold […]

So, how did yesterday's economic blackout go? Did it have an effect? Did enough people take part (I did)?
Did anyone notice? I haven't seen anything about it today!

Today, I bought a cup of coffee at a LOCAL shop and paid cash. And that’s all.

If today's #feb28blackout proves successful, I propose it become an annual thing like Black Friday. Actually that would be a great name for it: BLACKOUT FRIDAY.

Every wargaming exercise I participated in used red to denote the enemy. Blue was always us, the good guys. Just sayin'. #resist #feb28blackout

FEBRUARY 28 IS ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY On February 28, 2025, we take collective action to show our economic power. For 24 hours: DO NOT spend money at major retailers (Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc.), fast food chains, or gas stations. IF NEEDED, buy only essentials (food, medicine) from small, local businesses with cash. WHY IT MATTERS Big corporations and politicians only listen to money. A one-day economic blackout sends a clear message: We hold the power. If they don't listen, we make the next blackout longer. SPREAD THE WORD Share this post, talk about it, and let's show the strength of collective action.

it says one day, but that's a start.
if you can go longer do it, as long as you can. if you can starve the data economy by staying off social media and such, do that too.
do your best as long as possible with this. it's the beginning.

Economic blackout Feb 28th. You don't think it will do anything, so you aren't going to participate. Businesses notice these shifts and may put pressure on policymakers to respond to public concerns. It will generate media attention, prompting discussions about why people are protesting, putting pressure on public officials. It demonstrates collective will and encourages future, more impactful economic protests.

Friday February 28: Buy Nothing for 24 hours
#Feb28Blackout

I’ve received two emails from acquaintances about this. I’m seeing it on Facebook from random people.

I think we are actually going to do this!

Tell us your [Walmart, Sam's Club, Target, Amazon, Goodreads, Whole Foods, Alexa, Amazon Web Services, Ring] alternatives for a local & global economy that is more: robust, resilient, sustainable, equitable, diverse, creative, un-surveilled, just, participatory, courageous

Many of us are participating in tomorrow's Feb. 28 Economic Blackout as a form of protest. Could tomorrow be the start of our re(new)ed commitment to generative businesses instead?
