    I cannot express how much I love this. Jeff Bezos is an evil piece of dog poo… actually, that is an insult to dog poo.

        Poo sounds dirtier, probably because I associate it with actual poo, whereas shit I just associate with, like, stuff

        I’m mean, to be honest, yes. I haven’t purchased anything from Amazon in years. It was an adjustment, but easier than you think. Most times, I just wait a little longer for free delivery of something I don’t care about getting in two days anyway. One of the other changes I made was getting a membership to a Costco type place that has local delivery for my household stuff like cereal and toilet paper. You should give it a shot.

      I wonder how ebay treats their workers. I’m trying to find a good alternative but ebay is the next best competition basically.

    It only really works if they keep striking. A one day strike is lame

      Do you have any concept what it’s like for any fledgling union?

      “Lame” shows your ignorance.

      Amazon spends obscene amount of money to discourage these strikes. It is a continuous war each year.

    If BF has lower volume due to inflation, this will actually result in more profit for Amazon due to reduced wages.

      Maybe we could all get used to lower volume then if it’s for the greater good
