    you know what, I think I was wrong.

    McDonald’s yesterday reported that its global sales declined for the first time since 2020, with its net profit declining 12 percent compared to the same period last year. Starbucks announced Tuesday that sales in North American stores dipped 2 percent, and sales in the rest of the world dipped 7 percent. It also reported that its total international profits dropped by 23 percent.

    It does seem like the majority of that hit is coming from predominantly muslim markets, not the domestic US market, and I think that bds org is US based? but regardless, significant dents are being made, and keeping the US movement in lockstep with the international boycott movements is important

    I should have looked it up first
