Stop ordering from Amazon if you really feel so strongly about this. No point making all this grand-stands while on the other hand, you will just goto Amazon for your needs. That is the real way to hurt them.

I did that, literally decades ago. That was still at the time when Amazon was selling books only.

They promised the earth on privacy and after a few month suddenly pulled a bait and switch on that.

For me that was such dishonest behavior that I pulled my business from them and never, ever ordered anything else.

A fulfilled, satisfying life is not dependent on being an Amazon customer.

True, but alone I can't make a difference. We must unite, in the workplace and as consumers. That's why it's as important to be vocal about it and convince other people to stop ordering from Amazon.

You can stop doing it and still be vocal about it.

That's what I just said. You on the other hand, assumed that I buy from Amazon with no reason to do so.

Many people do this, especially since ordering anything remotely non-trash on Amazon is a lottery nowadays.
