It's a weird thing going into the store nowadays. Knowing that they've sued me, and that their CEO has reported me to the FBI, for merely pointing out some of their bad practices.

But I don't blame him. He's a product of a system that drives executives to seek profit at all costs. And I still shop there. I don't think Costco is inherently evil. And I don't know that starving them of the very tiny amount of profit they get from activists, or our supporters, is likely to do much good. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/do-boycotts-work/

What we do need, however, is for the prevailing culture to change.
