A boycott will only ever inconvenience YOU, the consumer. It's like my friend who is boycotting poultry because of the industry's treatment of chickens. I told my friend that unless he tells the chicken farmers he's boycotting them, they won't ever know.
Perhaps if the rabble were willing to send some politely-worded letters to some McClan chiefs, urging THEM as McClan chiefs to write some sharply-worded letters to selected members of McDonald's senior management, that'll probably amount to more than boycotting cheeseburgers until Lord-knows-when...
Yeah, well I've been boycotting McDonalds for some time now because I just think their products are garbage. But this makes me feel more political about it!
