When you feel powerless remember it only takes 5 million people to stop paying their bills to collapse the system and turn these billionaires into poor people. You are never truly powerless.

I’m talking about turning off media. They make money by # of viewers. Boycott a store like Kroger that raised their prices beyond pandemic levels for fun; shop somewhere else. No one needs to know. 🤷🏻♀️
Cancelling Amazon Prime will hurt Bezos far more than WaPo subscription cancellations. The hubs and I a researching alternatives. Prime video is my problem and football on Thursdays. Trying to find away around it.
What we buy from Amazon is coffee, dog glucosamine, Splenda-type sweetener, that we can buy anywhere. Walmart (who I also hate) had a subscription service on a deal for $48 the first year, $96 after that. Free freight. No min order. Prime is $139/yr. But Walmart can't give me video or football.
This has nothing to do with football. I'm old. I don't get out much and I live on Social Security. I need free freight and good pricing so I can afford to live. That's my 1st priority.
Amazon bought some sports rights, and offers entertainment products as well. So if you really love US football, and watch watch Thursday's game, it's Amazon or nothing.
Same. I will make my decision to cancel Prime at the time of my next renewal (March). And it's not JUST to hurt Bezos, but because I doubt I will be able to afford another year of it.
Here's a link to the GOODS UNITE US app.https://www.goodsuniteus.com/
It shows what companies are Republican/Democrat/Other aligned. It's a purchase decision making tool.
Get an IPTV subscription. 50-70 dollars per year, and tens of thousands of TV channels, tens of thousands of movies (incl Apple, Amazon, Netflix,) series etc. It’s legal, I have been using it for two years now. It can sometimes lag/hang, depending on your connection but that’s the only issue.
I chose an EU provider. If the US ones are more expensive happy to share a link to the EU ones. They all have the same channel, movie, series, sports channels list. You just need a smart TV and an internet connection. Or you can use firestick, Apple TV, anything with an App Store that has IPTV apps
The father of my old friend Jean-Pierre was active in the resistance. They got caught and everyone around him was shot down against a wall, but for some cruel reason the nazis decided to spare him. He never got over the survivors guilt and it affected my friends whole childhood.
If EVERYONE with an IRA in a stock & growth account moved their $ into secure investments; still IRA, just interest-based, all at once, the wealthy would lose big & we'd be protected from their machinations.
Let THIS be OUR Jan 6th Rebellion.
You inspired me to just make a post about this subject - it’s a good idea. Making one for your local area could be good too. You can use the political contribution database to see how business owners have contributed (if they have) in this past year!
I wish I could cancel my Amazon Prime but I live in a rural area and with some things I have no choice but to get from them. I already don’t have cable but I need WiFi for work. I’m going to cancel Spotify, too.

Women have enormous power and could tank the economy if they organized. Shut this BS down.
I already began with all the cable news (they donated sanewashing). ❌
I knew about Home Depot donations long ago. ❌
Koch products. ❌
Publix ❌
It is simple to look up large donors and just ❌.
I also canceled Amazon. Will support local businesses, or order directly from companies w/o using a middleman like Amazon.
Canceled cable years ago.
Free at last.

Scotus ruled we have untouchable kings and we're all sitting here 6 months later.
