I quite like wholefoods. Now that Amazon will own it I feel less likely to support it.
Amazon is a cut throat profit making machine at the expense of human exploitation.
Wholefoods felt like the little guy who was trying to do things differently from mainstream supermarkets.
- chrisper 9y agoBy that reasoning you would also have to stop visiting any website that uses AWS. I think that would mean you'd have to stop using the Internet entirely.
- aylmao 9y agoAre you implying that it's unreasonable for him to dislike Amazon for its labour practices if he's an internet user? That doesn't make any sense.
- chrisper 9y agoNo. I tried to say that if he wants to avoid things to stop supporting Amazon, then he will have a hard time. A similar case would be Nestle, since they own so many products.

- konspence 9y agoCompanies that use AWS are not owned by Amazon. WFM is. There is a big difference there.
