A grassroots movement called the People's Union USA is asking consumers to stop spending money at Amazon and its subsidiaries for a week.

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.
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....
Thrift stores, Ross, Costco.. You're not without options my friend.
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.
No, u. pats myself on the back
Not to mention tons of other online stores for pretty much anyth you could want /need.
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.
Uniqlo?
Are they a relatively ethical company? Genuinely curious
I haven’t bought anything from Amazon in for fucking ever, I avoid it. It’s not that hard. Avoiding all these shitty warehouse stores is hard, but sometimes it’s the only place that has what I need (no shade to local businesses) I imagine people in rural places have it even harder. Some places the only place you can get groceries is at a Walmart, which is a fucked ho situation to be put in.
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.
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.
Its a class war and you've already just resigned. You have options. Research them and stop giving up.
In that case, I resign.
Then I pity you. You happily wear the badge of no fortitude, principle, or resilience. A badge of a coward.
