    I dont get why most Amazon protests im hearing from my countrymen are time bound. You’re just saying loudly and proudly “i cant live without amazon”.

    Get a backbone, Americans. You dont need Amazon.

      I legit can’t live without Amazon because it’s the cheapest / most affordable place to get a lot of stuff, especially groceries in my high COL area. Not to mentiom variety.

      This 1 week boycott is doable for me. Not sure how 1 week of reduced revenue is going to impact a company flooded with cash reserves, but I’m happy to do my part.

      Yeah, kind of defeats the purpose. Especially if you announce ahead of time that it’s time bound.

      Why would Amazon change a single thing when they know it’s only one day or one week?

        This isn’t the war, it’s just a battle. You escalate as you go.

        First it’s a day. Then a week. Next time, longer. Eventually it’s a full on boycott.

      Sigh well stores closed. Sears, party city, Joann’s, chunk of malls leaving fewer alternatives. If khols closes I’m screwed for clothes.

      Walmart funds heritage foundations so never going there. Besides everything is locked up and disorganized.

      My maga fil loves TEMU. Like dude…

          No Costco near me and never heard of Ross.

          Plenty of thrift and dollar stores.

          Though I get the spirit of what you are saying driving 30 minutes one way to a specific store is kind of lame.

            Sigh I used to go adafruit for electriconics but they banned me for shipping to my buddy house instead of my billing address. Jerks. Really ruined my hobbies.
