1. Introduction: Purpose of This Article

     I have written this article in an attempt to create the fullest possible list of all of the many items, products, restaurants, social activities, and other activities, which Millennials have been described as "boycotting".

     As far as I'm concerned, any notion that Millennials are "boycotting" anything, should require that they are doing so intentionally. From the perspective of companies involved in sales, and the marketing firms they hire, there is no difference between an intentional boycott, and an unintentional boycott (at least as far as the seller's bottom line is concerned).

     But there is a difference; many of the products listed herein are being boycotted by Millennials by choice, but because they cannot afford many of them. The following articles explain some of the economic woes of Millennials, especially as compared to other generations:

     http://www.businessinsider.com/millennials-wealth-generation-experts-data-2019-1
     http://www.cbsnews.com/news/millennials-are-much-poorer-than-their-parents-data-show/

     http://www.npr.org/2018/11/30/672103209/why-arent-millennials-spending-more-they-re-poorer-than-their-parents-fed-says

     http://www.romper.com/p/this-study-confirms-millennials-are-the-poorest-generation-to-date-everyone-nods-in-agreement-2302400

     http://www.romper.com/p/the-big-ways-millennial-parents-have-it-harder-than-any-previous-generation-79634

    When we talk of "Millennials killing industries", we should keep in mind Millennials' comparatively lower amount of disposable income.

     We should also keep in mind that many of the industries and brands which Millennials are "destroying" would not have been destroyed had they offered their customers either: 1) better products, without raising prices; 2) cheaper prices, without sacrificing quality, health, or safety; or 3) products of better price and better quality. To allow back-slide in either affordability or quality - especially both - is sure to lose customers.
     This is how price competition is supposed to work; you offer better products, better prices, or both, or you lose your customers. If you don't follow that model, then when all is said and done, you will be neither increasing - nor even maintaining - your level of rewards to your customers. Any firm that behaves like that, deserves to lose business, and lose customers.
     And most of those companies, are being boycotted by Millennials. And for good reason. God knows what other unethical behaviors they are up to, aside from their pricing models and quality controls. Labor exploitation? Animal testing? Toxic products? We deserve to know. Thankfully, there's an app for that, and it's called Buycott.

     http://www.buycott.com/

     I appreciate that this app exists, but I must add that I believe that full boycotts are impossible without doing all three of the following: 1) abolishing all departments of commerce, as well as all state-affiliated businessmen's and producers' associations; 2) abolishing the state's power to tax and then appropriate funds to businesses; and 3) repealing the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act.
     I say #3 because until the Taft-Hartley Act is repealed, boycotts cannot legally operate across multiple industries (nor can strikes). The idea that boycotts and strikes should be limited by the federal government has nothing to do with either socialism, the idea of a limited constitutional republic, nor a free society.
     On the other hand, aside from prosecuting people for tax evasion, there is no way to completely enforce a "boycott", because you can't literally force people to buy certain products, and frequent certain establishments.
     Or can you?

The "millennial-killing industry"

https://www.thebeaverton.com/2017/09/millennials-killing-millennial-killing-industry/

The "millennials writing 'millennials killing industry' industry"
[Author's note: I saw an article, or maybe it was a random tweet, that said Millennials are destroying the market for articles about the many industries that Millennials are killing. I hope that I have fulfilled this need, and while parts of me hopes that this will be the last word I'll have to say on the subject, I know that there are more products and industries with unethical practices which deserve to be boycotted by Millennials. I just hope that it won't have to occur through Millennials becoming unable to afford even more of the things they want to buy (in addition to the things they don't mind being unable to afford).
