(Honest question)
I can always find what I *need* locally, and what I *want* on Ebay or Etsy. Or I order it through my local bookstore.
I search for what I want using the https://duckduckgo.com search engine which doesn't share your data. (Google is dead to me too.)
no problems!
ZenMarket can also shop Japanese items for Americans.
They are the reason that money left American cities over teh past 50+ years. They suck the money out, become the ONLY shop in town and the city just dries up.
Fuck corporations. Keep the money local!
Cancel Prime (politics aside it's a bad deal). Spend some time finding local stores that are decent to their employees & that you enjoy interacting with. Don't go back to Bezos businesses - ever.
Or I bought a giant bag of coffee that I turned not to like & someone else wanted /took it.
And amazon uses free shipping and is the quickest for us people living rural.😭
So we still need amazon
WE created this Jeff Bezos ingrate; 'The Lord She Giveth, and the Lord She Taketh Away’ -- sooner, rather than later!
But "free shipping" isn't free.
But he doesn't care or will change because he already has his BILLIONS. He just wants to go around with his fiancee and be that tacky couple.

In fact, I haven't seen an Amazon delivery on my street for weeks, when it used to be multiple times a week.
Friends, we need to fully commit ourselves to this boycott and several others. For good.
Resist
If you don't want to use Azure, it's best to do some research on cloud computing services. I bet there are many that popped up over the years. Azure has a good reputation, nonetheless.
In NYC, the march begins in Washington Square Park at 11am ET.
UNITE & RESIST‼️
That's the problem with echo chambers. You think "everybody" is doing this, but it's just "everybody on BlueSky".
If you want to win, to defeat these monsters we need...
That won't happen talking to each other and imagining red/purple areas will magically come over.
Be mentally strong.
The boycott for Amazon,Target and Walmart started last month.
No Washington Post
Reminder: you can and should just quit using Amazon forever.
One week?
Eat the rich or they’ll eat US.

There are so many alternative stores out there for everything that Amazon sells. Don't mistake comfort and convenience for lack of choice.
Try not using Amazon for a week. Buy local.
For my country, buy Canadian, if you aren't already.
Unless you like Pierre Poilievre. Then fuck off.
You're vulnerable to malware.
They allow parties to track your locally stored search history and any personal details you willingly share.
They are also now running advertising a lot.
I won't use it.

Drop all non-essential expenditures.
Prepare for emergency sheltering in place for a minimum of 2 weeks, due to reckless cuts of Fema, etc., potential gov shutdown, https://generalstrikeus.com , etc.

So many things are not available in brick & mortar stores anymore. After COVID it got worse. Stores contracted their inventory to just the high turn over items. Economically I get it, but I still need some of the stuff. I certainly can do 7 days.
I’m sure you can find other ways to show support.
For medical supplies I usually check out my local medical supply store. They have great deals, manufacturers coupons, and bulk items. I call around to get pricing!
I started to order directly from the companies I liked on Amazon, if only available on AZ, found new companies or pay a little more for local business bb
I’m a small business owner & need & appreciate the value my community pays me.
We have been convinced that Convenience is more important than equality & democracy.
Never will.
Already cut free of google, we can do this. There are alternatives.
Turn amazon into just a place to browse, not buy.
And if you want more options let me know, I could send you a list of other retailers in your area.
My most recent membership charges more for everything. Most food items are certified organic.
The store is teaming with employees.
Everyone should ditch Amazon.
Bozos make $9m an hour from Amazon
Want something that will make an even larger difference? Quit buying from big-box chains altogether! Hit the local mom-pop shops instead.
Using the money I have saved so far to donate and sponsor a child in a Ukrainian orphanage.
Much better use of my money.

Boycotts and blackouts are a stupid idea in a capitalistic economy.
The is domestic terrorism.
