Many have children, too, or family members in care. Would it include hospitals and health services? Should we pull our money out of the market (if we have any in there)?
Perhaps a list of the worst--top contributors to this regime would help. We could target them in a boycott to hurt them specifically. Don't use their services or buy from them. But, we must be prepared to hold until they are seriously crippled. It would send a strong message to others participating in this economy.
