Why reduce? Why not stop buying from Amazon altogether? I haven't bought anything from them for over a decade and have no plans to ever buy from them again.

- amatecha 2y agoThere is a balance to be found in life, like, "I am leaving for a trip in 2 days and just realized this obscure but important item we forgot is not available in any local store but I can get it tomorrow from Amazon just in time" and that singular moment having an infinitesimal effect on Amazon's bottom line. The power held by such a monopolistic entity is not felled by one guy boycotting them. I cannot topple the deeply-interwoven tendrils of capitalism by changing from Amazon to another multinational corporation that has taken over my city, so, yeah if I buy something every so often in a moment of need, that seems pretty reasonable to me.
