  Make all the billionaires remember that it is we the people who make them rich, not the corrupt politicians:

    That movement is for not buying anything from those companies for the next few days. It should be to not buy anything from them this holiday season or indefinitely. Support local businesses that keep money in your own community.

    Social media hug of death or wrong link?

  Just delete your account and buy somewhere else. Easy.

    I did that one year ago, and I don’t miss it. Amazon degraded to a marketplace of low quality Chinese crap anyway. It’s really easy to avoid

      I did that in 2008 (IIRC) and never missed anything. I may spend a couple of bucks more by buying elsewhere or directly from smaller shops, but better like this than giving more money to the Evil Bald Guy.

      And you can buy exactly the same Chinese crap direct from China much, much cheaper. Slower, yes, but Amazon’s getting to be a real expensive middleman and that speed is rarely worth it. Patience pays dividends.

    I’ve been boycotting Nestle for DECADES and I don’t think they “feel the sting” from my actions.

    Etsy has honestly become a terrible front for selling cheap overseas goods now. There’s no quality control at all, and no direct guardrails to ensure what you’re receiving isn’t just proxied junk from elsewhere.

  While Amazon is awful it isn’t really just them. It is a systematic issue with our economic system. Our society constantly makes efforts to keep the poor poor so that they are forced to work for low pay resulting in a cycle of abuse. Basically every public company will end up in the same situation and we see that with every large company. If a large public company isn’t shit the CEO will be fired by the shareholders and replaced with one who makes the company shit.

  So yes, avoid Amazon, but also talk to your government representatives. The cycle will always continue until the incentives are changed. To properly exit this shit system we need to change our society and government.

  Do you know a better way to make make billionaires pay and think twice before taking their customers for granted? If so, please share…

  This is the first time I have found anything other than the grassroots backlash against Disney for punishing Kimmel’s speach that I can do today to vote against the billionaire class for capitulating to corrupt politicians. Giving my $20 a month to politicians that don’t except corporate donations is not enough.
