Just boycott fast food. I thought about doing that when I was in Ireland. McDonald’s is more expensive there. There is no value menu. A small coffee frap will cost you about €6, and food prices are high, too. Unless they are paying your income, or have directly sponsored something that benefits you, I wouldn’t put money into it. It’s just like Taco Bell. When I was unemployed I would go for their $1.09 bean and cheese burrito as a cheap lunch, but when I applied for a job, none of them would hire me. When I went in to ask for an application, the staff was all Latina women who looked me up and down and then laughed at me for asking for an application. I haven’t had Taco Bell since then. Don’t support the institutions that don’t support you, if you can help it. I know that’s tough to do.
Eh, not really, but it made me consider where I spend money. I wish there was a business I could patronize that would directly benefit every person who has ever helped me. I know that sound weird, but if I could buy groceries, or gasoline, and know that part of that money helped people in my life who directly helped me, I’d never shop anywhere else for those items.

this feels personal
