So Trump destroying tradition US car manufacturers using Tariffs, the people destroying Tesla using boycotts, guess who will be making all of America's car in about 5 years time?
Depending on how the collapse happens it may be that individual US states might apply to Canada to become provinces. That would be a good way to go about it, that way only the people who want universal health care would get it, people in other states could continue going broke paying for Xrays.
That's the problem with a lot of these event protests. They feel good for one day and don't actually change behavior. Only protracted strikes against a focused target will move the needle, and it requires people who are already hurting to hurt more.
The protests are about more than hurting sales for a day. They're about raising awareness, building community, and making it clear that we aren't going down without a fight — and they're working in that respect. The event I went to a month ago had 7 people. The most recent one had well over a hundred. New communities are popping up all over the country, with multiple events happening every week.

Watch out for extraneous piles of bricks and know the people you come to protest with. Don't accept a Molotov from anyone but your friends.

Kinda optimistic to assume america will still be there in 5 years.
Well, I suppose the continent will still be there, just maybe not the USA.
varonicaED
Greater Canada maybe?
reichstein
That would be pretty great :)

If by "get involved" you mean "don't buy a Tesla" I'm way ahead of you.

I think they are referring to pulling his skin off and feeding him to a pile of fire ants.

Go the extra mile and flip off a Cyberurinal driver today.
EgregiousMisnomer
Done. What's next that won't get the FBI sicked on me?
mksu
I mean, I'm pretty sure hurting a Tesla driver's feelings is terrorism, so they're probably already on their way to collect you.
