Brutal working conditions for Qatar Airlines's flight attendants

That’s not meaningful. They get their revenue from sources other than their airlines, and frankly the two dozen white people who do aren’t going to have any impact.

Since when is a boycott an effective measure in a global economy? That’s been the whole point of globalization- the demobilization of local and culturally specific factors inhibiting trade. Boycotts are the actions of the lazy and the impotent. Not that I have anything against the impotent, we’re all largely impotent- but I’m against the delusion that we accomplish anything by specific inaction.
