That's my thought as well. A one day boycott like the "no shopping day" does literally nothing, but 40 days can reform habits. To the extent practicable, I'm doing all my shopping at Costco now. I generally eat a lot of the same things, so bulk quantities aren't that big of a deal to manage.

I work in college financial aid. Students are eligible for federal/state funds if they've been granted asylum and in the country for at least a year since being granted asylum. So many still have an application pending. The process shouldn't take more than a year, but I've personally seen someone whose application has been pending for seven years, and I've heard of longer ones. In the interim, they get a temporary status and work authorization, but I can't imagine the stress they're under while waiting this out and watching the new administration work against them.
