But... Indigo/Chapters specializes in carrying thousands of magazines (OK,
maybe hundreds)... there are so many niche magazines, I cannot believe EVERY
one of which is "profitable"... I think I'll boycott them now! :-) ...And
Staples... The $20 I was going to spend on a magazine there will surely
bring them down!
I'm losing track of all the companies I'm boycotting on ethical grounds...
Is there an open-source app that can help me track this?! lol
