The one opportunity I had to go in this store was safely avoided by going to a Michael instead. specifically because I refuse to give them a cent.

it is extremely difficult to avoid stores/businesses owned by religious groups.

I recently avoided purchasing an item from Yakima due to the coming across the following [0]. In reality businesses like Marriott Hotels and Chic Filet irritate me and I avoid when I can (business uses Marriot for work)

if there was a list of athiest or agnostic owned businesses I would likely spend more money at these locations than any others.

is it just me or is this article written like someone who did a few google searches for old organisms and then writes down their speculations in the form of what some would call an article?

tl;dr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_(tree)

"However, the oldest, precisely measured organism living on Earth today remains, for now, a Great Basin Bristlecone pine tree. Pando the quaking aspen and Antarctic glass sponges could be much older but their ages are assumed from indirect measurements and educated guesswork. "

I worked for a company for 1.5 years and mentioned I was moving and that I would like to stay with them and work remote if possible otherwise that I would be moving in 6 months.

I was incredibly lucky and know it put pressure on them to find special remote opportunities or 'fly and build/fix it' type opportunities for many clients. I work in network security and networking.

my employer already knew me and was very happy with all of my work, otherwise I cannot see anyway I would have obtained this opportunity.

What actions can I take as a US citizen to fight this level of ignorance? I feel like calling or emailing my representative will yield no results. Does anyone have some ideas on what can be done by the average Bob?
