Celebrities and Their Out-of-Touch Ideas: Why Rosie O'Donnell's Boycott Call Fell Flat

Rosie O'Donnell, a well-known comedian, recently shared a post on Instagram. She asked people to join a big economic boycott. She wanted workers to skip work, avoid events, and stay away from restaurants. The idea was to cause a "mass blackout" and hurt the U. S. economy. Many Instagram users were not happy with this idea. They pointed out that O'Donnell is a millionaire. She lives in Ireland now but still talks about the U. S. as if she lives there. People felt she was out of touch with reality. They said her plan would hurt regular people more than the rich. One user asked, "How am I supposed to pay my rent if I don't work? " Another person mentioned that small businesses and workers who rely on tips would suffer. Many people live paycheck to paycheck. They can't afford to skip work just because a celebrity suggests it. Some users even suggested boycotting celebrities instead. They said celebrities think their opinions matter more than they do. One user wrote, "Let's unfollow all celebrities on social media. They need us, we don't need them! " O'Donnell did get some support, but most people disagreed with her. They felt her idea was extreme and not practical. Many people are tired of celebrities giving advice that doesn't make sense for regular folks.
