I mean, the Amish make very high quality furniture but I'll just go pick up something from Ikea. It's not my job to feed their kids. It's my job to feed mine. Which is a very "fuck you, I've got mine" way to live, but I don't know how to change the system other than to treat others as best I can within the system.
Something like Amazon is a partnership between the capital class and, to zeroth-order, everybody else, to screw over a small slice of the proletariat (their own employees and retail / warehouse workers) and the bourgeoisie (brick-and-mortar store owners).
It sucks when the capitalist Eye of Sauron focuses on however you make your living as a thing-to-make-more-efficient but when it lands on how someone else makes their living shit gets cheaper.
