I think the boycott would impact people who need their jobs.

"Kicking" a thread means replying to it. which "kicks" it back up to the top of the forum. And to recommend thread, there's a little box below right on an original post (the post that starts the thread) which says "DU rec." If you like a post and would recommend it to others, you can click on that. That's what "K&R" means, kicking it to the top of the forum and recommending it to others here.

Recommend, the other for facebook and a retweet. On DU if we like a post, we hit Recommend. If you really like a post and want to see it continue to the Greatest Page, you comment. One way to comment is to simply type K&R, i.e. Kick and Recommend. To be format 'correct', if that is alll you type, some will add nt for (no text). Hope this helps.

Enjoy.

They have very little product and it's inferior. I've never once bought from there, even though over the years I've used 5 other dispensaries. They are inferior to begin with and now it turns out they are also Russian, so glad they never got any $$ from me at all.

Did not care for their business model. Fortunately there’s plenty of other dispensaries to choose from around here.
