I have shopped at Amazon for at least 20 years. When WaPo, under Bezos, declined to publish an endorsement of Harris and gave Trump a million dollars I decided not to shop there anymore. I was never a Prime member so couldn't cancel Prime. lol I've never seen any point in paying someone so that I could spend my money with them, therefore; never joined Sam's Club or Costco.
There are items that I regularly ordered from Amazon and noticed that many were sent by a different company. So, I needed some rat poison -- rats are all over, both figuratively and literally. Anyway, I looked up the company and went online and found them. I ordered the poison directly from the company. Got great service and probably saved the company a little money in the process.
Also, Bezos seems to forget that he was not always a billionaire. He started his business in his garage, he apparently has forgotten this. He doesn't treat his employees fairly and not to be outdone started a "cheap" area to counter Temu and Shein. I don't shop either of those places anymore either, especially Shein since it is said they use "slave labor".
As much as I hate having to go to town (it's 10 miles away) I have been going to local businesses for most things now.
I cancel Prime, all of recurring product subscriptions and have not purchased anything from Amazon. I have found many items I subscribed to, locally and at other online retailers, for the same price and sometimes less with free shipping. I cancelled my WAPO subscription. FUCK BEZOS.
I cancelled Hulu (Disney) and now only subscribe to PBS and Britbox.
I check labels and do not buy products from red states. I buy Canadian whiskey and products. I also buy products from Mexico. I have found items on Costco's website cheaper than Amazon.
There are many people doing the same thing. It may seem that you and I are only 2 people doing this; but, there are 1 or 2 someplace else doing it too.
It has an accumulative effect. I suspect that people who quit using Amazon will eventually be getting some kind of offer trying to get them to return.
I wonder what businesses, if any, are no longer selling on Amazon?
This household has spent zero dollars on Amazon since the beginning of the year. Usually we’d be doing a couple hundred dollars a month from them. Goal is zero dollars in 2025, and pretty sure we easily make it!
Characteristics of Muskrat: a large rodent that is about a foot to two feet long ✔️ It has a stocky body ✔️ rounded head ✔️ a long, scaly black tail that is 7 to 12 inches long ✔️ Territorial when breeding ✔️! Sounds about right, don'cha 🤔?
Jeff Bezos actually owns WAPO. Another fine, upstanding citizen, of course 🙃
Which is the reason for a national BOYCOTT of Amazon. Let's do this. Hit Bezos where it hurts.

I may just be one person, but I do what I can.

I love the description but the muskrat has more morality, compassion, sense of community that that Nazi loving thing called Musk.
OP was referring to the NY Post in this case, but your characterization of Bezos is nevertheless spot-on.
