    An entire economy is made up of many parts. 0.3% doesn’t sound like much but with big numbers it adds up.

    A sacrifice of 20 million dollars is more than just symbolism.

      The problem here is that $20 million isn’t a “big number” compared to $6.55 Billion.

      Believe whatever you want, I can’t stop you, but you are objectively wrong.

        Let’s pretend the Maldives is America. Would you say that America losing 0.3% of its entire GDP over a boycott is "symbolic?
