Kevin RothrockFuck this guy.
If I ever had a WaPo subscription, I would cancel it twice today.
Karel Brits 🔻@kevinrothrock and don't buy at Amazon anymore.
Truth Or Consequences ✅ 🇺🇦We live in the sticks and never though about quitting Amazon, but we have. Hard to find stuff now comes from used stores, Etsy, Ebay and Temu - yeah, it is the exact same stuff that Amazon sells at twice the price. I checked. Other stuff, I fix or improvise.
James Widman@karelbrits @kevinrothrock they're not going to feel it, because the real money comes from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
a more realistic near-term goal might be to pressure companies to stop showing adverts for AWS, which you'll see, for example, at sporting events.
It will take longer to pressure companies to actually migrate from AWS to something else (because that's going to take time & money even if the CEO gave the order to do it immediately), but it should be possible.
@karelbrits @kevinrothrock that said, it's still worthwhile to boycott amazon-the-retailer even if it's only symbolic, because that could help to build pressure to boycott AWS.
