What is Buy Nothing June?
Well, since June is a month that is irrevocably compromised, and the US economic system measures success by one thing (money) the goal is simple, to stop all money in motion on that month.
Other than your required monthly payments, make no transactions.
Not to friendly, neutral, or hostile businesses.
Just... don't spend money.
Stock up your fridge and pantry, fill up your gas tanks, make whatever durable goods purchases you need this month.
It's not a boycott. It's simply a quiet walk away from the Pride Economic Engine.
You don't even need to talk about it in tracked social media. Enough of us slowly pass this along word of mouth to just... not spend money and it is hard to be accused of whatever thought crime they try to come up with.
You could even if you wanted to be public about it, just call it a preparedness exercise for disasters, testing if you can survive economically on your own for one month.
When it's done you can celebrate by buying all the shit you need to normalize your lifestyle again in the first 4 days of July.
In celebration of a kind of pride that has been demonized for far too long.
Extremely tall order.
The people who are able to make a months worth of purchases today are NOT the ones forced to bend to the systems whims.
Though, I very much agree with never having your money in banks
IMO ---- Buy nothing Made-in-China is do-able.
This is the drug that the globalists are hooked on.
Buy unprocessed food ---- learn to cook --- buy from local farmers market if possible --- these are our friends.
This is the ticket. Divert money to where it actually makes sense.
as a last resort --- buy used
Not possible for someone like myself. Being a residential contractor, I need materials and gas to be able to operate. Certainly not feasible to buy the materials needed for the next 3 jobs ahead of time. One cancels or pushes a job back a few weeks ; I'm out a good chunk I can't guarantee I will get back.
For those of us who find this to be infeasible at least try to reduce your spending by 10%. Don't buy anything unnecessary throughout the month. A thousand people reducing their spending by 10% will have more impact than you realize.
I'm with you on that, been preaching to co-workers don't buy ANYTHING that is not needed for awhile.
And my small biz... already in rough times, now fails completely.
We CAN'T concoct a plan that hurts the people as well as the enemy.
Is your small biz literally selling only to people that read this site?
Good point, and no. One rather large thing that weighs heavily on my is can small biz survive what is coming. Hope and pray fren.
And watch the layoffs and small business hardships begin.
This plan hurts self-employed small business people. One month without income is deadly.
