A 40-day Target boycott starts today. It couldn’t come at a worse time for the company

Putting a time limit on a boycott undermines the boycott.
Saw this with the Loblaw’s boycott here in Canada, it was very ineffective because they can just wait it out.

Does Loblaw run a law blog by any chance?

Sadly no there is no Bob Loblaw

Yes, just don't shop at Target.
It's strange that people forget that businesses like Target getting rid of DEI also gets rid of many disability act initiatives. There should be more outrage than just a boycott. -
But why would people boycott a law blog?

From the point of view of the boycotter, having a time limit helps mentally.
I think more people are ready to think "just buy somewhere else for a bit". If it becomes "forever" might seem daunting.
My two cents, not sure if this is the real reason.

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.
