I’ve noticed my apartment building’s Amazon orders have decreased by like 90% lately. From piles and piles of boxes in the delivery area to like a few here and there on top of mailboxes. Wow, you can do it when you put your mind into it. I’ve been boycotting Amazon orders for like 15 years btw. ✊

Tons of folks don't follow news & may think of Trump as a successful business man due to the Apprentice. Know anyone like that? In case they missed it, recommend the 2018 documentary "The Confidence Man," S1.E6 of Netflix's DIRTY MONEY. Ties to Russian oligarchs noted. www.imdb.com/title/tt7909...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!
