Will this have a huge impact? Almost certainly not. But Stephen King is always on the people’s side. This isn’t the first political post he’s ever made.
Yeah, I agree. The only thing that matters is when things have huge impact. Change happens immediately and never in small increments. It’s worthless to make people aware of how they can be part of the solution. That’s just messing with hope.
But that’s precisely why you start out with actions that put your movement in the spotlight, like going on protests or similar forms of agitation.
Not going to the store for a day is hardly going to make anyone care (as it’s literally based on absence rather than presence), especially the shops who this type of boycott is supposed to harm. People still need food, basic necessities and tools and can’t live without them, so this would result in people buying more some other day to compensate.
I was being sarcastic. Edited my message. Of course change is slow. IMO it’s idiotic to expect large changes without doing a fucking thing for it. “I’ll just twiddle my thumbs and live life as always, surely something will change”.

I made no implication that it had to have a huge impact.
