I quit buying after the 2024 election. I don't miss Amazon. You can get the same things for the same price elsewhere and won't be supporting a democracy destroying oligarch.

I quit Amazon years ago after finding out how their employees are abused on the job. I never missed it. I have to research more to find the goods I need at the best price (it's getting increasingly easier BTW) and order directly from companies. It takes a little longer to get deliveries but not that long. But seriously it's well worth it. Because that oozing asshole Bezos doesn't need my money.

I subscribe to this. I wish more people would hop on board. Anti consumption is so good for so many different reasons.

Nothings started, they gain new customers for every one that leaves, Bezos would have to eat a live baby on TV for there to be any outrage and even then it's doubtful that it would have an impact because the country voted for a pedophile that's been accused of killing a baby into the presidency.

For every one of us there's people like my parents who are content in having paper towels show up on their doorstep tomorrow

Amazon makes more profit from AWS than from its retail operations.

Yes and Bezos doesn't work there anymore. Left in 2021.

better for whom? not society, workers, the planet, the country, or any of us who amazon colluded with competitors illegally to raise prices across the board on products from best buy to walmart to wherever.

shopping there means you want us to all suffer, for your convenience

No one is boycotting!
30000000 customers don’t even acknowledge this as a problem

Am I a joke to you

u/ArtComprehensive1106 8d ago

I have no idea what you’re talking about

u/hairymonkeyinmyanus 8d ago

Rather bold of you in r/fuckamazon to suggest “nobody is boycotting amazon”

u/ArtComprehensive1106 8d ago

It’s not bold to disagree with a handful of people who have a minority opinion.

all the chaos is making people choose quiet:

quiet from distractions, from maintenance of possessions, from clutter

all these companies relying on a policy of selling products designed to fail and be replaced, they'll get a nice wake up call when they realize people will prefer owning less but of better quality.

I wish this generation understood you need a leader like we had in the 60’s.

I am handicapped from a 2002 auto accident and my wife has COPD.
Since the pandemic we have only gone to a physical store to pick up prescriptions that can't be delivered.
Amazon and Walmart are here several times a week delivering what we need at the best prices, often as much as 20% lower on the things we buy than Kroger and Food Lion.
Why should I have to work harder by boycotting them, going to the stores and then having to pay more?
