Jeff Bezos can afford to do this because of Amazon.

Boycott Amazon.

The substitute for Amazon, if you rely on delivery to remote and rural, is Walmart.

You know things are fucked when Walmart is the more ethical alternative.

Exactly. But rural/remote has heavy reliance on delivery.

I use eBay primarily, but there are other sites out there with good deals. You just have to search for them.

That’s like asking people to wash their recycling. Only 10% at most are going to sort and wash the trash.

One stop shopping with easy to find and easy free shipping and easy, free returns. That’s where we live now. So, Amazon or Walmart.
