You forgot Facebook!
I've been protesting fb and Amazon since 2015. Walmart is the hardest for me, so I play. How do I find all the lost leaders. Items that draw you to the store but no profit.
I'm participating - but it is hard. I already need a nozzle cleaning kit that is impossible to source with 2 day shipping at a reasonable price. I'm okay this time as I had the parts on hand to continue production. But ya know... a good marketplace is important.
You're right Tom, at some point or certain instances there will be a time you just can't get an item as it's been made in China with long shipping times etc. Would your nozzle kit been available more local in the olden days?
Also, I buy a lot of stuff locally. All my clothing comes from thrift stores or Costco. All my food comes from Aldi or Hannaford's. (sometimes costco) I get lumber and building supplies from a local recycler. I often get tools and equipment from Facebook Marketplace. I give and get from Freecycle..
Thanks. What I would really like is for securities law to change so that no individual or entity can hoard wealth at the insane levels being hoarded today. No one person should have assets in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Anyway, my point is that the problem is not the marketplace. The problem is the system that exploits workers while making shareholders into billionaires. An issue that could be largely fixed with securities laws.
If you need something today…
try a local buy nothing group,
Borrowing from a neighbor,
A small local business,
A small Asian, Indian or Hispanic market,
Your library,
Or improvising….
As a Costco employee since 2012, I've never supported Walmart mainly because they treat their employees poorly. I know Costco was threatening a strike, but the Teamsters negotiated a really good contract, and Ron Vachris said yes. Thank you, Ron for keeping the Costco culture alive.

Tesla stock has lost a good bit but it can lose alot more X stock goes up and down but it's pretty cheap compared to tesla..target took a hit and with the recent whitewashing of the military and a major Network and the suppression of that story is not going to help Target get back those customers
The media is not covering all those unsold teslas sitting out there and in Europe it's been pretty bad sales have dropped off immensely people vandalizing them tormenting the dealerships..me I got 1 Tesla charging station within 30 Mi of me I have seen a cybertruck live though
It's going to take a lot of people and way more than a one day blackout But my family hasn't shopped at any of those places in years except for Target Who we dumped last year when they gave into anti wokeness Voting with your money is fun and easy. With the added bonus of supporting small business
If you live in or close to the city and have decent Wifi, it's easier than you would think. For instance you can go to Amazon find the product you want, see who sells, or makes it, Google their website, and buy ditect. But if you live in rural America, it can definitely be harder.
"We went from being great in the eyes of the world to being a supporter of Russian aggression"
Sounds strange to say but the way the vast majority have felt about Russia over the last 40-50years, that they are the enemy, we are going to think the same about America
Rhetorical: How did we get so lazy? Pay an uber to bring a burrito to your house? Pay Amazon to ship cheap plastic crap to your doorstep from China in 6 hours? Can't make your own coffee? Need a car that drives itself?
Can't be bothered to drop an election ballot in your f**king mailbox?
I remember when things could be delivered it 203 days, then it was 1 day..now things are getting down to minutes. Can we as humans not wait for something?
Ya I remember a few years back I had ordered a new case to rebuild my gaming PC back when I gamed. Said 5-7 days for delivery. On the 10th day I called and asked where is it. Their reply was that the train derailed and it would take about 10 days to get it. I was like ok. It showed up the next day.
lol. You think one day is gonna do it eh? 85% of Canadians have stopped buying anything US for weeks, and will likely continue for at least another 4 years and likely longer. Fix your shit USers.
I have to keep reminding people that Amazon or rather Bezos makes most of his money now from AWS (Amazon Web Services). The problem is if you use the web you use AWS. Here is an article of who use it (kinda) - https://spacelift.io/blog/who-is-using-aws
Its hard to find people that don't use AWS. If you google does x company use AWS the results will surprise you. I don't like to praise Bezos, however the man knows how to make money.
Quick brainstorm - and good thought experiment for today:
What is the opposite of capitalism (as it applies to monopolies and the .01% funding fascism), and how can we create more expressions of that, and communicate about it more effectively?
This is what the EPA spokesperson said after it was revealed that the world's most ubiquitous weed killer, Atrazine, is causing human extinction. Sperm rates have dropped at least 1% per yr since 1955.
They are causing mass extinction, and they don't care.
Ironically I was talking to my boss about similar. There is a distinct number of alzeihmer's, dementia, autism, ADHD these days and the number of E products in processed foods? 😲
I have been concerned about that throughout my 4 decade career. This study is chilling, though. At the current pace, most species will be gone in 50 years, including us.
This is possibly why Elon keeps pushing people to breed.
Yesterday driving home my daughter comes across a cyber truck, 1st thought she had was Kathy Bates in scene from “Fried Green Tomatoes” where she rams the cutey girls’ car, who’s hung she could that to the cyber truck! This is where we are!
Thanks! That will help every time I come home from my walk and see my neighbors house all decked in trump banners & flags, that I have all my restraint from ripping them down!
These companies (guys) are all in for the oligarchy.
Btw, the top searched term after Biden responded to Trumps win, 'what is an oligarchy'. The teaching of history and civics is critical to our survival!!
I swear you don't need the crap they are selling. Plus, they abuse workers by underpaying them while continuing to make billions in profits for shareholders and execs. Multinational corporations don't give a damn about American democracy.
I actually just unsubscribed to Amazon Prime, and will be boycotting Walmart, McDonald’s and others indefinitely. This madness must come to an end. Local vendors and CostCo for me, and reduced spending overall.

But I'm not 👍
Use as you please but it would be nice to be referenced as the source, if that is OK? 💙
BTW, I'm not selling anything ha ha !
I’m so glad!

Cheers.
Although people should be held accountable for their actions, which includes Trump & many of his friends, this is another distraction of MAGA and Trump Admin.

It would take a herculian effort and over years but glad your family have moved away from the corporates for some time now 👍👏👍

Which is why he's putting US in more debt, he doesn't care coz eventually he'll be dead and won't need to be held accountable

And Google!
Whoever was there at Trump's inauguration..
Amazon changed the marketplace. Many relied on them during Covid (a global emergency).
It’s time to dust off your (great) grandparents’ depression-era methods.
Only buy what you need - and don’t fund corrupt GOP monopolies in the process.

Would have been brilliant if this blackout was scheduled for end of March to screw their quarter 1 sales numbers.
